Dear all,

Our second Alternative Worship will be on Sunday 18th October 4:00 pm refreshments with worship starting at about 4.20 pm. Themes will come from some words of St Luke' gospel whose saints day it is. This service has a more informal feel and we shall be singing some worship songs. Please do let us know if you have any favourites that you would like us to include. 
 
All Souls’ Day, following All Saints’ Day, is the day when the church traditionally remembers those who have died, and prays for them by name. In the Tove Benefice this is offered in a Service of Light during which there will be an opportunity to light candles in memory of those who have died. As the years pass, we still miss those who have died so this annual service is an opportunity to gather and hear and sing comforting words and give thanks for those who are loved but no longer physically with us. 
The service will be held at St Lawrence’s Church, Towcester on Sunday 1^st  November at 4.00 pm.
The service has a simple format and will comprise hymns, Bible reading, poem, prayers for the bereaved and an address in addition to the lighting of candles. All are most welcome to attend and to remember someone who has died recently or a further time ago.
 
Loved ones who have died in our Benefice in the last year will be remembered by name in the service.  If there is anyone else who has died and whose name you would like to be read out, please call the Benefice Office on 01327 350459 to let us know or write their name on the list that will be near the entrance to the church, with one of our helpers, when you arrive at the service.
 
We will be lighting candles as our way of giving thanks and remembering individual people.
 
With every blessing
