Remember your loved ones.

    Remember your loved ones at St Margaret’s special Light up a Life service. St Margaret’s Hospice is encouraging the community to come together this Christmas at their Light up a Life service.

    This year the hospice will be broadcasting its Light up a Life service online on Sunday, 12 December at 4 pm at https://www.st-margarets-hospice.org.uk/light-up-a-life. The service is being recorded at The Chapel at the Bishop’s Palace in Wells and the Right Reverend Ruth Worsley, Bishop of Taunton, will give an address during the service and there will be music and songs. 


    At the heart of the service will be the dedications the hospice has received through their Light up a Life Appeal.  Although too late to be included in the service you can still make a dedication on the St Margaret’s starry sky.  To make a dedication visit https://www.st-margarets-hospice.org.uk/light-up-a-life-dedication. If you’re not able to join the service at 4pm, don’t worry, it will be available to watch on our website after the event has finished.
