Remembrance Service
11th November 2018
We welcome everyone who joins us for worship today, on the 100th Anniversary of the Armistice, as we, with people all over the country remember those who have died in two world wars, and in many other conflicts around the world.
We pray for Julie our Student Minister who has prepared and will lead this morning’s service..
Our evening worship at 6pm will be an Iona style service.
Tea and coffee will be served after this morning’s service and hand-made cards, including Christmas cards will be on sale
Please don’t forget to put your ‘small’ change in ‘Copper Pot’, where it will eventually benefit local charities and to purchase some extra items for the Foodbank this week.
