🕯A TIME TO REMEMBER 2020 - 1/2 November 🕯
Are you looking for a special way to remember and honour a loved one?
We have partnered with D & D newsagents on Railway Street who have some freeA Time to Remember packs available for anyone who would like one.
In this pack you will find:
• An explanatory leaflet
• A Prayer Card
• A nightlight
• A ‘Living with Loss’ booklet
There are two main ways to do A Time to Remember, outside and indoors.
Outside
Go to the outdoor cross near to the church for a time of quiet reflection, by yourself or with others, at any time. Follow the prompts on the Prayer Card, taking your time. The cross reminds us that on Good Friday Jesus died a brutal death, by suffocation, in which he felt very alone. He died. His friends and family wept and didn’t understand, but they had to get on and bury him, like you do. Then on Easter Sunday morning Jesus rose from the dead, giving us all the hope of eternal life.
Inside
With your household or bubble, you might like to create a new tradition. How about having a special meal to remember those who are no longer with us? Then, at the end, light the night light. Candles in church remind us that Jesus is the light of the world, Jesus who overcame death. The candle can also signify how those whom we have loved have reflected that light into our lives, how they have been a light for us. Then follow the prompts on the Prayer Card. Or simply pray without the meal.
The vicar, The Rev’d Felicity Walters is happy to listen to you if it would help to talk, or if you have questions to ask.

🕯A TIME TO REMEMBER 2020 - 1/2 November 🕯
The challenge of living with loss.
Losing someone whom we love is one of life’s toughest challenges and this year it has been absolutely brutal.
Back in March, when end of life visits and funerals were first restricted, we thought that by now we would be organising memorial services and be able to make much of our annual A Time to Remember service which we do each year sometime around All Souls on 2nd November…but it was not to be so.
We are facing a long dark winter without those whom we have loved and who are now on the other side of time…how can we still honour them and give thanks to God for their lives when we at Church can’t put on special services?
[We are doing some standard services, Sundays 9.30 am at St Andrew’s Hadfield and 11 am at Gamesley and at St John’s Charlesworth, and do ask about worship on WhatsApp and look out for Thought for the Day on Facebook]
This year, we have partnered with D & D newsagents on Railway Street who have some A Time to Remember packs available for anyone who would like one.
In this pack you will have:
• This explanatory leaflet
• A Prayer Card
• A nightlight
• A ‘Living with Loss’ booklet
