Service of Remembering and Sharing – Sat 5th March @ 2:30pm
Dear Friend
You are invited to a Service of Remembering and Sharing.
On: Saturday, March 5th 2016 at 2.30pm at St Mary’s Wilshaw
It is for parents who have suffered the loss of a child of any age and from any cause.
Siblings, grandparents, family and friends are also welcome.
We welcome people from all faiths or none, and any-one who has lost a child, whether it was yesterday or many years ago.
The service will give you the opportunity to stand alongside other people ‘who know’ the pain of losing a child, and want to publicly acknowledge and remember our lost children.
The service will include a short message of hope from clergy and stories or poems from people who have suffered the loss of a child.
Regardless of your faith or belief, we hope this will bring you some peace.
If you wish, bring a flower to place during the service in memory of your loved one.
For more information contact Jacqueline on 01484 663867
Men’s Night with Rev’d Kevin Partington – Friday 11th March – 7:30pm
Rev Kevin Partington will be speaking at the next Men’s Night.
He’s a former business man who was called out of business into the Ministry. He will be talking about what made him take this step – and then what life was like as the Vicar of Dewsbury Minster with all the pressures that came with that role in that place! Clinton’s known Kevin years – I first met him before he became a Vicar. He’s a good lad and worth hearing.
Jean is making meat and potato pie – and we need numbers.
Put it in your diary and let Nigel Priestley know if you’ll be there!
