Service of Remembrance and Thanksgiving
Each year, ministers from the By Brook Benefice spend time with people who have been bereaved, but it is not always possible to spend as much time as we would like offering care and support to those who are grieving. We are also conscious that a while after the death of a loved one, a time of remembrance and thanksgiving can be very helpful and positive for members of the family and close friends of the person who has died.
On Sunday 30th October, at 4pm at St Nicholas’ Church in Biddestone, we are holding a service of remembrance and thanksgiving for those who would like to come along to remember and give thanks for someone who has died.
During the service there will be an opportunity for everyone present to light a candle in memory of their loved one, and to place it on a special table at the front of church. There may also be close friends of the person who has died, who also wish to attend the service. They will, of course, be most welcome.
We do know how the death of a loved one is felt very deeply, and so hope that this will be a special time for those who have been bereaved whether recently or not.
If you would like to attend, please could you contact Revd Jonathan Philpott
