Remembrance Sunday
Collect for the day
Almighty Father, whose will is to restore all things in your beloved Son, the King of all: govern the hearts and minds of those in authority, and bring the families of the nations, divided and torn apart by the ravages of sin, to be subject to his just and gentle rule; who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

NOTICES
Welcome to our special services on the 100th anniversary of the end of World War One. Before our Parish Eucharist and Act of Remembrance, our local bell-ringers will ring half-muffled peals, and at 2.30 pm the bells will be rung again at full volume, joining many churches up and down the land. We will then have a series of short talks and poetry readings at 3 pm, sitting alongside the silhouette Tommies. After refreshments we hold a Vigil service at 5 pm, with readings and prayers.
