Death - the gateway to eternal life

Death - the end of the Journey of Life and the start of a new journey. We often see this symbolised at the start of each New Year with Father Time and the new born year.

This church and graveyard has hundreds of memorials to those from our village who have already started the new journey, and is also full of the activities of those like us on the Journey of Life.

May you be guided, blessed and guarded on your journey by God’s Holy Spirit.

Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son,
Endless is the victory thou o’er death hast won!

Lo, Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb!
Lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom.

No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life;
Life is nought without thee, aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conquerors through thy deathless love.
