Liz Jump Remember, remember the fih of November…in church, November 5th isn’t actually one of the dates we remember in our calendar, but November is certainly the season of Remembrance. On November 1st we commemorate the feast of All Saints, when we remember all those whose faith and work throughout history have given us examples to live by, and live up to. Not just the famous saints – those our churches are named aer, who oen died for their faith, and whose names are known worldwide - but also the saints in our own lives; the people whose quiet example brought us to God as they lived their faith day by day and who now rest with the God they served on earth. On November 2nd we have the feast of All Souls when we remember all those we have loved and lost. In a normal year we would have gathered together in church to remember especially those who have died in the last year. is year we can’t gather, but we will have ways of remembering our loved ones in each of our churches and, should you wish to do so, you are welcome to come to any of our churches on the days they are open (times below) to add the names of your loved ones to our remembrance areas. We will keep these in place until the end of November. On November 8th we have Remembrance Sunday, again very different this year. We can’t have our usual large gathering but, together with the Parish Council, we are working on a small civic ceremony with an invited group of representatives of local organisations. We will say prayers and lay wreaths. We will remember them. At the end of November we move towards Advent and our preparation for Christ’s birth. We don’t expect to be able to do Christmas in the same way as usual, but we have plans to bring Christmas to you from our churches in other ways. Watch our website www.wroxhambenefice.org or our Facebook page – search Wroxham Benefice. If you can’t access any of those things, we will put more details in here in December, or you can ring and let us know if you’d like us to get something to you by post. Our churches are open between 10am and 4pm on the following days-Wroxham Sunday and Wednesday; Hoveton St John Tuesday and Saturday; Hoveton St Peter Friday; Belaugh and Tunstead Saturday.
