Hold a Candle for Her

For the fourth consecutive year, Holy Trinity will be having ‘Hold a Candle for Her” where we aim to light up to 1,000 candles in a river up to the altar at Holy Trinity Church, Barrow upon Soar on Mothering Sunday 22nd March.

Candles will be lit before our 10.30am communion service. All are most welcome to attend and worship at our service where we aim to thank God for the gift of mothers in our lives. Our youth group will be taking an active part in the service.

The candles represent special women in your life, usually a mother figure who has shaped and influenced you. This is a thanksgiving service for the love of those women around us currently and can be for those departed although this is not a remembrance service as such. They could be mums, sisters, grandmas and friends. You can put forward as many names as you like.

Donations and name recording can be done at locations around the village. Look out for the Hold a Candle posters in shops, pubs, library and other public places including our Church.

Donations can also be made by following the link on https://fb.me/holytrinityhacfh Funds raised cover the cost of the event and go towards the church’s work in the community. The candles will be available for viewing during and after the service where the church will remain open until 2pm. The names of our special women will be displayed on a rolling screen through the service as well as scrolls displayed throughout our beautiful Church.
