All Saints & All Souls Sunday 2023 (Online Holy Communion)

for 5 days, 13 hours, 59 mins

Today in our Church year we reach the Feast of All Saints and All Souls.

All Saint's Day celebrates men and women in whose lives the Church has seen the grace of God powerfully at work and to give thanks for their example.

All Soul's Day commemorates the faithful departed, those people whom we have loved but see no more.

Our services in our churches continue as normal, however, we recognise that through ill health, frailty, or infirmity, not everyone is able to join us every week. Therefore, if you are unable to attend in person, you are warmly invited to join in with our Rector, The Revd Mark Woodrow, who is joined by our new Curate, The Revd Dr Karen Smith, as he celebrates Holy Communion from the Vicarage.

The readings for today are Daniel 7:1-3, 15-18, Ephesians 1:11-23, and Luke 6:20-31.

The hymns for today are, For all the saints who from their labours rest, and, The day thou gavest, Lord is ended.

A service booklet to accompany this weeks service is available to download below or please email [email protected] for a copy.

Hundon, All Saints

This is a large, Perpendicular building, finished not long before the Reformation. No doubt it enjoyed all the ups and downs of the 17th Century religious wars, the long 18th Century sleep of the Church of England, and the vibrancy and energy of the 19th Century revival. But it is hard to tell now, because the church was completely destroyed by fire one night in February 1914, shortly before the outbreak of the Great War. 

The interior successfully retains a sense of the past, and heavens be praised the windows are all full of clear glass. There is plenty of open space of course, but intriguing little details - a wheatsheaf salvaged from an 18th Century memorial, the south chancel aisle panelled with dark wood from the vicarage, surviving roof timbers forming a cross in the south aisle.

A wide, light, simple interior, then, ideally suited for modern Anglican spirituality.
