The loss of a loved one does not stop when all the arrangements for the funeral are over – in fact, it may be even more difficult to face the new situation when there is nothing practical to be done. Or, after some time has passed, we just need a little space to reflect and to remember.For this reason, we warmly invite you to the All Souls’ Day Service at Christ Church, Pill, on Sunday 2nd November, at 6pm, when we have the names of our loved ones read out in an act of commemoration, listen to some music and poetry, and light a candle.There will be a sheet at the back of church for you to write down the name(s) as you come in before the service, so they will be read out at a particular moment. Do please join us.“Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.”
Christ Church is open from 2.00pm to 4.00 pm on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month to welcome thosse whose memory is becoming problematic, and their friends. You can meet, chat about times old and new, and enjoy home made cake and tea, coffee or other beverages. Why not pay us a visit and see if you enjoy meeting up for a chat.
Maggie Robbins and her helpers have resumed our popular soup lunches, cost £3.50 on the second Monday of each month, in the Church Room. For safety, guests will be seated on tables of 6, so smaller groups restrict the spread of viruses, and we will still sanitise hands etc. To join us, please phone Mrs. Robbins on 01275 374534 so we can plan tables safely. Lunch starts at 12.00 noon.We have cancelled the April Soup lunch out of respect for the funeral of Ena Rogers.Lifts available by arrangement, just ask!
