This coming Saturday is the 1st of November, and it begins a time of remembrance in the church calendar, and at St Paul's we have 3 opportunities to remember those we have personally lost and those who gave their lives for our country.

WOOBURN FOREST CHURCH - ANCESTOR CAULDRON

We gather to remember those we love who have died. You are invited to bring chopped vegetables (no pulses or oats due to allergies) to make soup together, a short story of the person or people you wish to remember (but only if you are comfortable speaking - there is no pressure), and bread/rolls to share. As we will be in the Vicarage garden please dress for the weather and bring something to sit on.

ALL SOULS SERVICE

The death of a loved one has a deep effect on who we are and how we relate to our families and communities which can persist for some time. At St Paul’s with St. Mary’s we recognise that a simple service of giving thanks for shared lives can help us through our bereavement. Therefore, we would like to invite you to our All Souls service on Tuesday, 4th November this year. This is a gentle service of remembrance for the families and friends of those recently bereaved and you would be very welcome to join us at 8pm in St. Paul’s Church, Town Lane, Wooburn. The service is also very suitable for all those of us who have carried grief, maybe for many years, and would find it very helpful to be in a quiet and safe space to remember our loved ones.  Grief never truly leaves us, even though its shape may change over the years.

REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY SERVICE

Our traditional village service of remembrance, with refreshments afterwards courtesy of the Community Church.
