All Souls Service

Every year on the first Sunday in November we have a Benefice Service when we invite those who have been bereaved in the previous year to a service at St Nicholas Church.

We cannot meet in Church this year but there will be a You Tube service with a transcript for those who cannot access it. There will be an opportunity during the service to light your own candle in memory of your loved one.

If you would like a copy of the transcript, please let Judith (488331) know and one will be delivered to you.
