Pet Memorial Service at Albrighton

Dear Friends,
As we begin our season of remembrance, we are holding a Pet Memorial Service at Albrighton Church at 3pm on Sunday (26th October, followed by refreshments). Our service will include an opportunity to give thanks for our deceased non-human companions whom we’ve loved and cared for down the years. All are most welcome, and if you’ like to, you could bring a photo of the pet/s you are remembering. We hope that our time together will be a source of comfort to all who mourn the loss of an animal companion.
Please note, this isn’t a ‘Pet service’, so we’re only expecting humans to attend! Albrighton Church is opposite the Albrighton Hall Hotel, and there is parking- just after you pass the church on your right, turn immediately right and then right again, and you’ll go down a track to the carpark.
With blessings,
