remembering WITH thanksgiving those WHO HAVE DIED Resources for Services of remembrance and thanksgiving for those who have died remembering WITH thanksgiving those WHO HAVE DIED Many churches of all traditions now regularly hold Services to which they invite those who have been bereaved. This may be around All Saints/All Souls tide or at other times of year. The Mission Initiatives Group in the Diocese realized that this was a significant time when we make contact with those on the fringes of the church and suggested providing some resources to support. It is important that such Services are ones which we carry out in the best way that we are able. This pack aims to resource such occasions. It contains a useful introduction with some guidelines, produced by the Revd Andrew Axon, based on experience in Hucclecote, and resources gathered by Brian Parfitt. There are two outline orders of service which can be adapted.
A SERVICE OF THANKSGIVING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DIED We meet today to remember those we have known and loved who have died, to renew our trust and confidence in Christ, and to pray that together we may be one in him, through whom we offer our praises to the Father. As a father cares for his children: so the Lord cares for those who fear him.
