Online Holy Communion during the period of National Mourning
Channel: Stour Valley Benefice
Date: 2022-09-09

Following the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II our online Holy Communion takes on a more reflective feel as we remember and give thanks for her lifetime of service to God and to his people.

Our readings are taken from Lamentations 3:22-26, 31-33; 2 Corinthians 4:16-5:4; and John 6:35-40.

Our hymns are, 'Abide with me', and 'Eternal Father, strong to save'.

Our churches across the benefice will be open for people to visit, pray, light a candle, or write in the books of condolence.  There is also an online book of condolence which can be signed: www.churchofengland.org/remembering-her-majesty-queen

A service booklet can be downloaded for today's service from the Benefice Website www.stourvalley.org.uk or email the Rector for a copy rector@stourvalley.org.uk
