Remembrance Sunday

Today is remembrance Sunday. This is the day where we remember those who died in wars whilst serving their country. For many it will bring back painful memories of loved ones and friends who did not return from combat. Along with many others we had two minute silence in Church at 11am today. There were some members of our congregation who were wearing their medals today. Some of these were from the second world war, whilst others were from more recent conflicts.

It was mentioned in our Church service today how soldiers were prepared to lay down their life for their country. This is a message that Christians can relate to, as it reminds us how God sent his only son Jesus who laid down his own life for us so that we might live. By dying for us Jesus defeated sin and death on the cross and made it possible for us to receive God's forgiveness and assurance of eternal life. All we need do is cry out to him today.
