Sunday 3 November: All Saints Sunday
9:15 Holy Communion (Book of Common Prayer)
|
The readings are from Psalm 24:1-6, Isaiah 25:6-9 and John 11:32-44
|
There will be coffee in between the two services, so come early or stay late
|
This Sunday is All Saints Sunday, but as the first Sunday after All Souls (1 November), the service will include remembrance of all the faithful departed. Also, as every first Sunday of the month, at the end of the service, there will be prayers for healing and renewal.
|
Remember too the Chaplain's "Open House" on Saturday evening; see more below.
