Collect for Remembrance Sunday

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

Fellowship    

If you sense yourself becoming isolated or are feeling particularly lonely, do make sure you do not suffer alone but contact friends or family.  They may not be able to visit, but you will feel better for having spoken.  Equally, if you know of others who may be in this position, please do make contact to see if you can help.  Ask people how they are and wait for an answer.

A prayer for our Benefice

“Almighty God we thank you that you are leading our benefice into a new season of our shared life together.  We pray for our Ministry Team; for Samuel our Vicar, and for Graham, Mary, Linnea and David as together they lead us in worship and prayer.

We pray for our Churchwardens: David, Kathryn  Paul and Nico.   Be with them and our PCCs as they serve you faithfully by supporting our Churches.

We pray also for ourselves, asking that you will be with us in our lives in such a way that our communities of Penn and Tylers Green may see a glimpse of your love made known to us through your son, Jesus Christ.  Amen”

Note from the Vicar:

Remembrance is one of those occasions which people either really appreciate, or find somewhat difficult to wrap their heads around.  However you feel about the day, may I invite you to take the opportunity to use this weekend to prayerfully reflect on the state of the world at the present moment.  Reflecting on all which troubles us, whether here locally, nationally, or globally, let us ask the Lord of Peace to step into each and every situation as King.  Let us remember that He is no stranger to our difficulties or the harsh realities of the world but has embraced those pains in His own body on the cross, that there He may conquer even the power of death, the power of evil, the sting of sin and the scars of shame; bringing about a victory which offers forgiveness, redemption, healing and a sense of hope that no matter how dark the dark may be it shall never quench the light of the World.

We pray for those who experience violence.  We remember those who find themselves caught up in gangs and criminality.  We remember those who behind closed doors are mistreated by those who should love them.  We remember those who spend time away from their families to keep others safe.  We remember those injured in the pursuit of peace.  We remember those in positions of power and ask that God will give them His grace and wisdom in all their decisions.

And we give thanks for all those who follow Christ’s example of love in making the ultimate sacrifice; laying down their lives that their families, communities and even nations may live lives of freedom.

Let us live freely, holding on to hope which we have in Jesus and inviting those in dark times to step into our Churches to glimpse the light of faith offered to all who encounter the presence of God’s love in His Son.
