Footprints: A Service of Remembrance for the Loss of a Child

Footprints is a special service of remembrance that we hold each year, during the week before the Mother’s Day weekend, for anyone who has lost a child during pregnancy or at any age or stage of life or who has been affected by such a loss, whether parent, grandparent, teacher, friend or family member. 

This year Footprints will take place on Zoom on Friday 5th March at 7.30pm. Footprints will offer space to remember our child or children and the opportunity to light a candle in their memory. There will be music, readings and prayers included as part of our time of remembering. 

If you would like more information about Footprints please contact Rev Sue Morton suemorton131@gmail.com or 01491 639286 www.wycombedeanery.com

Welcome back but …
PLEASE DO NOT JUST TURN UP!
… you must book, details below.

Things need to be a little different for a while …
As most of our churches are not large, you must pre-book for the date(s) you wish to attend.
This will enable numbers to be kept within social distancing requirements.
When booking please provide contact details for test and trace purposes.
This will also enable you to be notified if, for any reason, a service needs to be cancelled.
Current government guidance is that all attendees should wear a face mask.
2m social distancing (for those not in the same household) will need to be observed.
We also ask that people leave the church promptly after the service.
