Given that last year’s event was so successful we are pleased to invite you again to join us for our annual remembrance service at The Church of St James the Great, Ryhill to dedicate and light a candle in memory of a lost loved one on Sunday 7th December 2025 at 6.00pm led by The Revd Canon Paul Cartwright our Parish Priest.
The service will celebrate the lives of the special people that we have lost and is open to anyone regardless of where and when the bereavement occurred. You are encouraged and welcome to attend this service even if you wouldn't necessarily attend church.
The service will include some religious readings and gentle music, and you will have the opportunity to light a memorial candle in memory of your loved ones. Free refreshments will be available after the service.
We have agreed to donate the cost of the candles for this service but we ask that people in attendance make a charitable donation to support St James the Great, Ryhill for its upkeep and to support its ongoing work within our great community.
We understand that times are tight at the moment, especially on the lead up to Christmas. We ask people to donate as much as they can afford to the church plate.
Should you wish to dedicate a memorial candle to a loved one you will have the opportunity to write the name of your loved one on the candle at church and light it during the remembrance service. There will be a cost of £5.00 per candle and all proceeds will be donated to church. You will be welcome to take the candle away with you after the service for safekeeping should you wish.
We look forward to seeing you there.
