Each, of course, has Market Date West Lavington Easterton Great Cheverell Little Cheverell been significant for the families involved and in some cases, had a wider impact than Lavington on simply the close families. 10.30 am Benefice Worship Together Soon it will be Remembrance Sunday, and we hear the names read out of the people St Barnabas Church, Easterton 7th October who gave their lives for their country and their fellow men. It is difficult to imagine their 6.00 pm Service of Commission for Lay Worship Leaders All Saints’ Church, West Lavington funerals - some were buried with great ceremony and circumstance, others’ graves were simply marked with wooden crosses in a corner of some foreign field, others still 11 .00 am 11 .00 am 6.00 pm remain dreadfully anonymous. United Service 9.00 am United Service 11.00 am Harvest 14th October with Trinity in Breakfast with Trinity in Harvest But all funerals great and small, are interesting events. Festival and the Community Church the Community Festival They are where the living come face to face with death. A funeral forces us to think Supper Hall Hall about mortality and occasionally even about how we live our own lives and what our 11.00 am own core beliefs about death are. 10.00 am 11.00 am 9.30 am Parish Parish What does death actually mean to us? 21st October Welcome to Harvest Festival Communion Communion At this time of year, John’s Gospel is often quoted. He tells us “Greater love hath no man Worship (BCP) than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends”. And this, of course, is precisely 11.00 am what the gallant men and women have done in wars, from the battles of Hastings to 9.30 am Parish 10.00 am 11.00 am Parish Helmand Province. And it is right that we should be extremely grateful to them all. Communion 28th October Half Hour Parish Communion (Traditional But a chapter earlier in the same Gospel in John 14, there is a different message, Service Communion (BCP) Language) equally comforting. Jesus promises “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, And Baptism believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I 10.30 am Benefice Worship Together 4th November will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” St Mary’s Church, Market Lavington This should give us a clue. Christ is promising us eternal life, that death has a purpose and that life continues. Thus, our funerals, whether they are family affairs or great Regular worship in our sister churches: occasions or anonymous are all glimpses of what is possible, what is prepared for us. 9.00 am St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, Littleton Panell As Rossiter Raymond’s poem puts it: 4:30 pm Ebenezer Baptist Church West Lavington. Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight. So funerals, whether personal or national, are merely a gateway into a new, painless VILLAGE LINK and perfected life. And, as such, the fact of death is not gloomy or dispiriting but a time West Lavington, Littleton Panell & Little Cheverell for remembering and celebrating the lives lived and a place in Heaven for us all.
