St Chad Hopwas

Remembrance Sunday

This year is going to be very different for remembering those who lost their lives in the two World Wars. Churches are closed, except for private prayer and reflection. We, at St Chads, have maintained a Sunday service online throughout these challenging times and this Sunday will be no different. The content, however, will be. We have spent quite a bit of time preparing this weeks Remembrance Service and it has all been filmed inside the church and at the memorial cross. It is the full Remembrance service as we have done in previous years, with a few clips added in, such as hymns, from our usual sources. Please do take a look in.

Honor Evans

Many of you at St Chad's will remember Honor Evans, a stalwart member of our congregation until a short while ago. It is with sadness that we have to announce her recent passing (Friday 11th September). Honor turned 96 a few days before. The family (Perry and Roger) have been in touch and provided the following details regarding her funeral.
A funeral service is being held at Seven Hills Crematorium in Ipswich on 6th October at 1.30pm. Further details can be found on the following website link, which also gives you an opportunity to share your memories of Honor with us by posting a message. We have requested no flowers at the service, but Mom spent many hours volunteering at the Acorns children’s hospice charity shop in Tamworth, so we would love to be able to make a donation to them. Details on how to donate are also on the website link. https://honorevans.muchloved.com/
If you would have liked to have come to the funeral but are unable to get to Suffolk (& due to Covid restrictions, we are having to limit numbers), there will be a live webcast of the funeral which we can send you a link. Please contact Perry on 07738022223 or perryevans63@gmail.com & he’ll be able to give you details.
However, we will be scattering Mom's ashes at Sutton Coldfield Crematorium on 23rd October. Covid restrictions are also in place for this, so please contact Perry in advance if you wish to attend.
RIP Honor Evans.
