All Souls’ Service Sunday 1 November 11am Shipton Church

On Sunday 1st November at 11.00am we will be holding a special service in St Mary the Virgin, Shipton under Wychwood, to commemorate All Souls.
These last months have been particularly difficult for those who have lost loved ones with the restrictions placed on the way funerals have been conducted.
During this special service we will be reading out the names of those who have died recently and remembering other departed loved ones we hold dear. There are lists in all the churches for you to add names of your own loved ones or you can contact the office: email [email protected]
During the service there will also be the opportunity to light a candle in their memory.
Everyone is welcome but to help us safely plan the seating, please RSVP by 29 October with the number of seats you wish you reserve to: [email protected] or tel 01993 832514.
A note on safely coming to church services:
- Please wear a mask or covering and use hand sanitizer on entering church
- Sign in or use the App on your phone to register
- We ask you please not to come if you are unwell

Reserving seats for busier services

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SERVICES
In order to ensure that we can safely accommodate everyone at some of our busier church services, we will be asking people let us know in advance how many seats they would like. You can let Anne, Geoffrey or Clare in the office know ideally by the Thursday before the service. This will help those who need to go into the churches and make the seating plans to accommodate the desired number of groups/households.
We will need to do this for the following services in November:
Sunday 1 November United Benefice All Souls Service in Shipton at 11am
Sunday 8 November Remembrance Services in Milton (9.30am), Shipton
(10.50am) and Fifield (10.50am).
