All Saints' Day and Halloween

The Church uses All Hallows' Eve, (Halloween) to prepare for All Hallows' Day, (All Saints' Day) on November 1st. Traditionally, a vigil was held when worshippers would prepare with fasting and prayers to celebrate the Saints.
There is a Songs of Praise Service at Rempstone at 6pm on Sunday 1st November and everyone is invited.
