Weekly Newsletter, Sunday 12th November
Dear friends,
Remembrance Sunday serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who gave their lives in service to their countries. In the midst of this time of reflection, it is only natural that our hearts are inclined to seek the comforting embrace of God's peace, especially recognising the ongoing conflicts faced by people around the world today. In contemplating the courage and selflessness that happens in times of conflict, our minds are naturally directed towards God's boundless love and the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on the cross. Jesus' unwavering love for humanity gave birth to peace, breaking the chains of sin and providing us with the opportunity for eternal salvation. And so as we live today it is He who calls us to cherish the preciousness of life and to work tirelessly for peace in a broken world. Remembrance Sunday, in its essence, urges us to turn our gaze towards God's perfect peace, striving to emulate His love and grace in all that we do.
I do hope that you will join us at one of our three services this weekend as we remember and recommit ourselves to peace.
Love and blessings,
Revd Grant
