St Peter’s Church – Services for November

A Time to Remember

Saturday 2 November at 15:00 at St Peter’s Church Horningsea

As part of the season which includes All Souls and All Saints, there will be an opportunity to join together to remember those you have loved who are with us no longer and to light a candle in their memory. Whether your loved one died recently or a long time ago do come along for this special, quiet and contemplative service.

Horningsea Candlelit Carol Service

Sunday 8 December at 18:00

Liz Harrison will be co-ordinating the decoration of the Church for the Candlelit Carol Service. If you have never been, the church is filled with many hundreds of candles all of which have to be put in place in good time. If you have been to the service you will know how splendid the church looks with the oil lamps lit and the hundreds of candles flickering in the dark. Liz will need help from the weekend of 22 November to ensure that everything is in place by 8 December. Please come and help – give an hour or so over that weekend or during the week … or subsequent weekends until all is ready!

Remembrance Day in Horningsea

Sunday 10 November: 10.15 at St Peter’s Church; 10.45 at the War Memorial in the Jubilee Gardens

The traditional Service of Remembrance will be held as usual in Horningsea leading to the 2 Minutes Silence at 11 o’clock. During the Service John Wilson will tell us about the men of Horningsea who died in the first and second World Wars. This year he will also ask us to remember Capt James M Farmer, an American pilot who died when his plane crashed on Quy Fen in July 1945. He was a highly decorated pilot of the 84th Fighter Squadron, 78th Fighter Group who had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with 8 Oak Leaf Clusters.

Poppy wreaths will be placed on the War Memorial by organisations based in the Village.

The Fallen of Horningsea are listed on the village website.
