DESCRIPTION:St John the Baptist Parish Church in Royston is holding a Serv
 ice of Remembrance and Thanksgiving for those who have lost a child or who
  have been affected by the loss of a child of whatever age\, however long 
 ago\, and no matter under what circumstances. \nThe service will take plac
 e on Sunday 8th March 2026 at 5.00pm and will be followed by light refresh
 ments in the church.\nOne of our Lay Ministers\, Canon Reg Bailey\, will b
 e leading the service having personally experienced the loss of a child in
  the past\, and is well aware that all of us\, at some point on the journe
 y of our lives\, experience being wounded by the painful loss of someone w
 e have loved and who have loved us. The wounds in our hearts and souls tak
 e time to heal. Even then they leave a scar on our lives. There is a speci
 al poignancy over the loss of a child\, and finding support is crucial to 
 a healing process. \nComing together\, in a place of peace and quiet such 
 as the space we find in St John the Baptist Church can be especially helpf
 ul whatever our faith and whoever we are. We have found that those who exp
 erience this service where we remember the children we have lost will bear
  witness to how moving and healing this occasion can be for us all.\nPleas
 e feel free to invite families with whom you have had contact who have exp
 erienced the death of their child to come to this service. (It does not ne
 ed to be a bereavement from just this past year\, but at any time.) \nCall
  the church office for more information on 01763 243145.
