Sunday Services in August
Celebrating our churchyards
In this last year of restrictions and “staying local” many have found that they have noticed and appreciated their own surrounding more than before. This seems true of our churchyards as well. We used our churchyards for outdoor carol services and Remembrance Sunday services and are now often ending our services with a hymn sung outside, while some of our churchyards have become a focus for prayers and greetings as well.
This seems like a good time, then, to celebrate our churchyards and all that they offer us, whether that is a place to pause for a moment of peace and quiet, to come to remember a loved one or to enjoy the wildlife and wildflowers. During July and August there will be a special outdoor service (weather permitting!) for each church which will be informal and family-friendly.
Do come along and invite others. There will be activities and a particular focus on the wild-life that also finds a place in these special areas. This is also a time when we can say “thank you” to the individuals and councils who care for our churchyards so well.
