Memorial Service
Sunday 9th 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.
This year the service will last about 50 minutes. This will be an opportunity for you, your family and friends to make an act of remembrance.
Tea, coffee and cake were served in the church immediately after the service.
