National Day of Reflection

23/3/2021

 
​Tuesday 23 March 2021, one year since the first lockdown. There is hope on the horizon, but many have experienced loss and challenges over this past year in the historical context of a pandemic never seen before in a generation. St Paul’s Church, Hadley Wood desires to support you, your family and community at this time by marking the ‘National Day of Reflection’ coordinated by the charity Marie Curie and supported by the Church of England, designated a special day to reflect on collective loss and grief. 

We mark this through the reading out of the name of the friends, family and residents of Hadley Wood that have been lost over the past year. Then we invite you to join us in a minute of silence at 12 noon to remember and reflect. Then the following poems will be read out 'Gone From My Sight' by Henry Van Dyke and 'The Years BC: Before Covid' by Pamela Liseter, followed by a prayer and blessing. Finally the Prayer of Saint Francis, put to music by Sebastian Temple will be sung by a member of our congregation.
