Losing someone we love is one of the hardest things any of us face. The weeks and months that follow can feel long and lonely. At The Good Shepherd, we want you to know that you are not alone.

On Sunday 1st November at 7pm, we will hold our annual Memorial Service in church. It is for the families and friends of those who have died and whose funerals took place at The Good Shepherd over the past year.

This will be a quiet, gentle evening. A chance to pause, to remember, and reflect. A time to give thanks for the lives of those who are no longer with us. There will be time for reflection, for prayer, and for music, and a moment to remember each person by name.

Many people find it comforting to spend this time alongside others who understand what they are going through. You may find that a shared smile, a kind word or a cup of tea afterwards means more than you expect. You are welcome to come as you are, and to take part in whatever way feels right for you.

Would you like a loved one to be remembered?
If there is someone whose name you would like included in the service, please let us know. We would be honoured to remember them with you.

All are welcome, whether or not you attended a funeral with us, and whether you come alone or with family and friends. We would love to see you there.
