A Service of Prayer after the death of The Duke of Edinburgh

Dear all,

I felt it right to hold a short service of prayer and thanksgiving at ASE this coming Saturday (17th April) at 9:30am. I will be leading the service with a reflection and providing opportunities for your own contributions. If weather permits after the short service of 15mins inside Church (there is no need to book), we will gather outside and mark our respects with prayers by singing the National Anthem. I am aware this is short notice and please only come if you feel safe, along with others who you sense would value this time ahead of the official funeral broadcast on the television at 11am that same day.

It is always good to be reminded of the mortality of our frail frames during the season of Easter which points to life beyond this life and indeed to the wonderful experience of knowing Christ here and now.

Please join me in praying that this new life, which Christ offers to all, will be shared and known more widely in our communities and country.

Yours in His service

The Revd Canon Mark Brown
