It is a summons not to miss the opportunity to do good.” It is important to understand how they feel, what they are experiencing and what their hearts desire.

Remembrance Sunday

The nation stops, as it did on Thursday Armistice Day, for a 2 minute Silence to remember those who have died in armed conflicts and in doing so we pledge ourselves to work for peace.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord!
And let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen.
