Annual Bishop Auckland memorial service for babies

The annual Bishop Auckland service of thanksgiving and remembrance for babies who have died before or soon after birth will take place on Monday 15 December 2014.

The service will be held at Bishop Auckland Methodist Church, Cockton Hill Road, starting at 7pm.

Families who have lost a baby in any way, but especially those who have suffered a miscarriage or stillbirth, are invited to attend to remember their baby.

During the service the names of the babies to be remembered will be read, and there will be opportunity for families to light candles and  place a card on the memory tree in memory of their babies.

The annual service is organised by the chaplaincy team and nursing staff at Bishop Auckland Hospital on behalf of County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust.

Refreshments will be served following the service.
