All Souls' Day Service

for 1 hour
St Andrew's, Banwell
Church Street Banwell, BS296EA, United Kingdom

Each year, at the beginning of November, the Christian Church keeps All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day (1st and 2nd of November) as a particular time in the year when we remember all those who have gone before us. We share a simple service together, read out the names of everyone people wish to be remembered and light candles for them. The last few years we have also gone outside, following the South American tradition, lit candles and put them in jam jars and placed them on loved one’s graves in the cemetery. All are welcome at this service of remembrance.

St Andrew's, Banwell

St Andrew's Church is part of the New Creation family of four churches covering Banwell, Congresbury and Puxton.

Our purpose is Building Better Community, by bringing Christ’s light to the heart of it.

History

New Creation formed as the two Anglican and two Methodist churches in the villages of Banwell and Congresbury in January 2014. There is also a simple historic church building and ‘haven for prayer’ at Puxton.

Ethos

Our ethos is central to our life together. We seek to live close to the person of Jesus Christ as an inclusive group of Christians from many different backgrounds, experiences and traditions with the common aim of seeking to “build a better community” in the local communities of which we are part. The idea of living relationally with God, with each other and with the physical world around us, together with the Bible stories of a “New Creation”, (Galatians 6:14-16), otherwise known as “God’s Kingdom”, inspire us greatly and these are the bedrock for our collective name and vision, “New Creation”.
