All Souls - a reflective service to remember those we love yet see no more
2025-11-01 16:00 - 17:00 UTC | St Paul's, Roundshaw
All Souls is part of the Hallowtide tradtion of the church - a day when we gather to remember all whom we love but see no more. Here in the parish we offer two options of services. This is the first, on Saturday afternoon in the heart of Roundshaw. During the simple service where we hope those familiar or not with church settings are led in a time of prayer, reflection, remembering and invited to hear the name of their loved one read aloud (in what we call a roll call) and to come light a candle. A lit candle being a visible sign of remembrance. The service will run for about 45 minutes and you are welcome to come simply sit amongst neighbours and strangers or to join more intentionally in the prayers and time of relection. All are welcome - please write the name of your loved one on the sheet as you enter the church - doors will be open from 3.30.
