Ironstone Benefice All Saints Day Service – Sunday 31st October

Alicia Baker, Rector of the Ironstone Benefice writes: “On October 31st we are celebrating All Saints Day (Nov 1st). Wroxton Church will be hosting the service for the whole Benefice at 10.30am.

As I wrote in the magazine this month, All Saints services are poignant occasions. They can be celebratory as we remember that the people who have passed away are now in a better place. But of course they are also sad times because we have lost people close to us. This year we remember especially those we have lost to Covid 19.

This service in Wroxton will be reflective. There may be a hymn or two, a couple of readings, and the opportunity to light a candle. You may only want to stay for a little while or for the whole time – about 45 minutes. It’s up to you. Everyone is most welcome.”

Children’s Halloween Trail – Sunday 31st October

Halloween

On Sunday 31st October children who live in Horley (and their parents) are invited to take part in a Halloween Trail around the village.  Just like last year, children will be following a map (see below) to find different spooky items (and of course sweets!) located around the village. However unlike last year, we are also allowed to knock on doors and trick or treat. We would love villagers to join in by putting out their pumpkins to signal that you don’t mind a group of hungry children knocking on your door!

Maps and glow sticks for children will be available from underneath the village notice board. Children are welcome to start the trail anytime after 5pm.  If you would like us to email you a copy of the map or if you have any other questions please contact Sarah at sarahtaylor0403@gmail.com

Thanks and Happy Halloween!
