This service is both poignant and hopeful, as we rejoice in the resurrection and the promise of new life in God.
The church lights are dimmed, as we read the names aloud and light candles in their memories. Dozens of living flames flicker on the altar, symbolising our loved ones who are now held safe in the arms of God.
Our All Souls Service will be on Sunday 3rd November, 5pm
If you would like someone to be remembered by name during this service, who is not in our memorial book you can add a loved ones name by contacting one of our churchwardens or by emailing us. Cost per entry is £5 and must be confirmed no later than 20th October.
Memorial Service
Sunday 10th November at 5pm
Come join us as we gather: those bereaved and families from across the local community for a service of thanksgiving and commemoration for departed loved ones.
During the service candles were lit and the names of the departed were read aloud. . This will be an uplifting way to remember your loved ones.
Christ church holds this service annually in November. As well as a general invitation to the whole community, personal invitations were sent to the next of kin of all those for whom Christ Church clergy had conducted a funeral in the preceding year.
Tea, coffee and cake were served in the church immediately after the service.
This year the service will be on Sunday 10th November at 5pm and will last about 50 minutes.
This will be an opportunity for you, your family and friends to make an act of remembrance.
