Light up a Life

Published: 03 December 2018

Now in its seventeenth year, the ceremony was well attended. Many local residents value this opportunity to come together and share a quiet time of reflection, with thoughts of loved ones and times shared.  The event also helps provide welcome funds to support the work of the hospice.

We would like to thank Epping Forest Singers for leading the singing of carols.  At Kings Green the Town Mayor, Councillor Stephen Murray, gave an address and switched on the lights.  Revd Sue Creighton on behalf of Churches Together in Loughton led the prayers and Sarah Thompson, Chief Executive St Clare Hospice also addressed the gathering.  After the ceremony everyone was invited back to Loughton Methodist Church for coffee and mince pies.  The mince pies were kindly donated by Morrisons Supermarket.
