‘Longest Night’ Service
Event:
Longest Night Service
Date & Time:
21st December
4:00pm to 5:00pm TO BE CONFIRMED
Further Information
This year we are not holding an All Souls service in Woodchester as All Souls falls on the Lee Abbey weekend. However, we are holding a ‘Longest night’ service on 21st December, "The Longest night is a special service, held on the longest night of the year when everything can feel dark. We might feel like sadness, grief or loss has no place in the often exuberant Christmas festivities. But this is a more reflective Christmas Carol service, especially for anyone for whom this might be a difficult time of year.

Harvest Giving Information
We will be celebrating Harvest to THANK GOD for his many blessings.
As a token of our thanks we’ll be collecting dry and tinned goods to donate to wonderful local charities like the Stroud Foodbank.
The Foodbank does fantastic work providing a few day’s supplies to local people and families who suddenly find themselves in a crisis. They can’t deal with fresh produce, so the most useful things we can provide are:
Top 5 Shopping List
Tinned Ham & Corned Beef
Fruit Squash

Shampoo & Conditioner
Laundry Liquid
Financial donations are also always welcomed by the Foodbank if you prefer. Please give generously
