All Saints' Day you might know better as 'All Hallows' and the evening before as 'Halloween'*.
Join us at
10.30am, Sunday 31st Oct
the Venerable Bede Church
West Road, NE4 8AP
for a celebration service which will be especially welcoming to anyone of any age or background. This is a great time to come along if you are curious about church or if you know someone who is.
*The festival of All Saints' is traditionally a time when we remember those who have gone before us, the stories of saints, and those who have died. We celebrate how when Jesus Christ was resurrected he triumphed over death and evil (hence why people would wear 'scary' costumes to mock the devil and evil spirits). At this time of year people would also light candles to put on graves, or bonfires (and later, fireworks!) as a symbol of how the light of life continues to burn bright.
