Within the Scottish Episcopal Church, time is made available for people to remember friends and family that have died, and what they meant to us. St Columba’s are inviting anyone who has lost a loved one to join them in a special service on November 1st at 7pm. This will be a quiet contemplative service to help in our reflection.

There is a special tree to which names will be added for inclusion in our prayers. We invite people to email missionpriestmrc@gmail.com with names of people they would like to remember, and to come to the service so they can light a candle to help their reflection.
