“We will remember them”
On Remembrance Sunday 12th November, there will be an Act of Remembrance in St Michael’s Church, Great Gidding, starting at 10.45am.
The collection will be given to the Royal British Legion.
The service will be led by John De Val.
“We will remember them”
Owing to the recently announced COVID-19 restrictions we are unable to hold our usual Remembrance Service at St. Michael’s Church this coming Sunday. The Royal British Legion have suggested that one way of remembering together those who have lost their lives in war, would be to step outside our front doors at 11.00 on Sunday and keep a 2 minute silence together.
We think this is a good idea and we will ring the Church bell to mark the beginning and end of the 2 minutes.
We hope you will join with us in this act of gratitude for those who gave their lives in the cause of freedom.
John De Val
Churchwarden
UPDATE from Michael Keck following lockdown announcement:
You will have seen the Act of Remembrance for Remembrance Sunday next week advertised in St Michael’s Church. Sadly, events have now overtaken us, and this service can no longer take place. However, whilst congregational worship is not permitted, private prayer is still allowed. St Michael’s will continue to be open for private prayer as previously, that is:
Thursday 9.30am – 1pm
Sunday 1pm – 4pm
Sunday opening has been shortened by an hour due to the earlier hour of darkness.
People in this community will be remembering those who have died or been wounded in war and praying for peace. You’re invited to join us by saying a prayer on this special Remembrance Day.
