November services

This is the time of year for remembering the dead. November’s first weekend starts with the unholy Halloween (All Hallow’s Night). The day after is All Hallows’ Sunday (All Saints’ Day, in its more modern form) when we instead worship and respect people who have led holy lives. Later the same day, we can remember our own family and friends who have died, in an All Souls’ service in Ashchurch.

The second Sunday in the month is Remembrance Sunday, when we come together to commemorate people who were killed in the two World Wars, and in military service since. This service is run by the British Legion branch for the south of Bredon Hill, and will be in Overbury church this year.

Here are all our services this month - please come and join them if you can, and help to swell our congregations.

Nov 3, 9:15 – Communion, led by Bill Blakey, for All Saints’ Day.

Nov 3, 16:00 – All Souls, at Ashchurch. A service of personal reflection to remember those who have died, recently or not. Their names can be read out if wanted: please advise the Ashchurch worship team on [email protected].

Nov 10, 10:45 – Remembrance Sunday at Overbury, run by our local British Legion branch. Please arrive early – this is a well-attended service in a small church.

Nov 17, 9:15 – Communion, led by Andrew Keith

Nov 24, 11:00 – Benefice Holy Communion, at Ashchurch.

All worshippers will be very welcome – members of our villages, our extended families, and any visitors to our quiet corner of the Cotswolds. Our services are approachable but thoughtful. They are primarily based on Common Worship, and the hymns we use are generally well known.
