All Hallows Service Today

Dear flock. Just to remind you that this morning’s All Hallows (All Saints) Day service will be starting after lunch at 2.15pm as I want to listen to Desert Island Discs. It is bound to be a most riveting programme as Marjorie Wallace is the stranded victim. Who I hear you ask? She is the gifted mental health campaigning daughter of Barnes Wallace, inventor of the bouncing-bomb and cats-eyes (those reflector things in roads, not a feline’s optics). She is also married to that funny man Wallace from the animated television series Wallace & Gromit.

Please gather outside the church at 2.10 and we will all skip into the church singing When The Saints Go Marching In accompanied by the local prison brass band (if they don’t all try to escape). Please remember to come to the service dressed as your favourite saint and carry a carved-out tomato as a lantern, for as we know this is the ancient Christian tradition on All Hallows. See you all later today.

May your God be with you, Cyril Knutsford. Vicar. Beckworth St Faiths
