Annual Tree of Light Service

This Service of  Remembrance takes place in December.  The Reverend David James takes the Service and usually invites a guest speaker who gives an address.  The Church’s Christmas Tree is illuminated during the service.  Hymns and Carols are sung and a poem read, usually by one of the nurses, along with readings by a guest. This is an inspirational service and can also be quite emotional.

Everyone is invited to light a candle in memory of someone they know who has passed away.  Sidmouth Hospiscare and Sidmouth Parish Church notify people they know have recently lost a loved one, of the date of this event, however it is advertised locally and everyone is welcome.

Sponsored Cycle Ride

 

John O Groats to Lands End

 

Starts - 14 August 2012

2012 - John O Groats to Lands End

 

Starting on 14 August, Sam & Ollie Turner, who are 14 and 13 years old, are aiming to cycle this route in memory of their uncle Malcom Turner who lived in Sidmouth and sadly passed away in November 2011.  Because Sidmouth Hospiscare helped Malcom and as Exeter Hospiscare and Cancer Research have helped a friend of their dad's, they hope to raise money for all three Charities.
