from the Vicar . . . Church Services
The beginning of November is a time
when we particularly remember the
lives of those who have gone before
us – All Saints is a commemoration of
the Saints and Holy people of the past,
and All Souls, that of all the departed,
especially our own loved ones.
This year, St Peter’s church will
be open on Sunday 2nd November
between 6.30 and 8.00pm for us to
spend a little time giving thanks for the
lives of our loved ones who have died.
There will be some quiet reflective
music being played, and everyone is
welcome to come in and, if you wish, light a candle in memory of your loved
ones. There won’t be an actual service, so you don’t have to worry about
singing hymns and things! Just come in and spend a few moments in quiet
reflection or prayer.
With every good wish Geoffrey
