All churched out now. This is really a step too far, but it has to be done. Again, this service provides an opportunity for people to remember their loved ones and close friends who have passed away. It started with the dedication of the candle stands. In previous years the sand tray had proved a disaster waiting to happen. This was much better. Once again there were a good number of people in church, and here a better mix of ages, with a number of younger children, and a more 'family' feel.
The very poor picture below gives some idea of the candle stands.

These will be kept, one in each church, and allow people to light candles whenever there is access to the church.
