A service to remember and comemorate those we have lost over the past year or so, many of whose funerals have been taken by members of the parish's clergy team.
The service involves a Bible reading, hymns, a choral anthem sung by the choir, and the names of those who have died over the past 12 - 13 months (plus others requested by members of the congregation) and is followed by tea and coffee (or soft drinks) and a chance to 'be'.
A list of names to be read will be at the back of the church before the service; those attending might like to check that a name they know will be read is correct, or there is the chance to add a name to be read out.
There will be Christmas gift tags at the back of the church which you can write the name of a loved-one on to hang on the Christmas tree (usually put up the weekend of 16/17 December in time for the church's Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols). You can keep the tag yourself and hang it nearer Christmas, or leave the tag with us to be hung when the tree is decorated.
