St Paul’s Honiton will be helping the local community to mark the National Day of Reflection on 23 March by handing out 300 ‘Remember, Reflect, Recover’ bags on Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 March. Each bag contains a colourful luggage tag on which people are encouraged to write a memory from the past year – the tag can then be hung on the prayer lines around the war memorial garden- a tealight to light at home at 8.00 pm on the evening of 23rd as the nation continues to reflect, and a small, but delicious, heart-shaped chocolate with the suggestion that it is enjoyed with a hot drink whilst thinking about what you might need to help you recover from the past year.
The bag also contains a prayer card, and a note from Sue, the parish priest, detailing other events that will be taking place at St Paul’s to help people Remember, Reflect and Recover.
