St. Margaret's Church, Lower Halstow
Please join us in church as we explore life in the village in August 1914. We will have a display giving a brief history of the young, brave lads who volunteered from Lower Halstow.
St. Margaret's will be decorated with floral arrangements inspired by poetry and music written by those affected and with photos from the era. There will be a series of events in the church to mark the weekend.
The church will be open at the following times with daily events:
Saturday 2nd August 10:00am to 4:00pm At 2:00pm Michael Mills will present a talk on the First World War, the talk will be aimed to suit children, so every one is welcome.
Sunday 3rd August 1:00pm to 4:00pm At 2:00pm there will be singing from two lovely ladies known locally as 'Those Women', they will be singing popular songs known to us from the First World War. Afternoon Tea will be served afterwards, so every one is welcome.
Monday 2:00pm to 6:30pm The Thames Sailing barge, Edith May, will be joining us in the parish dock. Our reflections will end with a short service at 6:30pm, concluding with Fred Slade playing 'Sunset' on the trumpet. After the service please stay for a glass of wine to reminisce, so every one is welcome.
There will be tea, coffee and cake available during all three days to welcome visitors and to enjoy the ambience of the church.
Please do come and join us as we mark the Centenary of the outbreak of the First World War in this simple but beautiful way.
