Dear friends,
This Sunday the Rev. Linda Faith Chalk will be leading us in worship.
Our Lord, “the Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9: 6), says in John 16: 33, “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Only in Christ can we find true and everlasting peace. Our first reading is taken from the book of Revelation 7: 9-17, describing a vision of a great multitude from every nation who are dressed in white robes, holding palm branches and worshipping the Lamb of God. We look forward to that day, when He will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
This Sunday holds a special place in our hearts as we come together to observe Remembrance Sunday. On this solemn occasion, we remember and honour the brave men and women who sacrificed so much for our freedom. Join us in a spirit of reverence and gratitude as we pay our respects and offer prayers for peace.
