For Remembrance Sunday we have resources to help you and your church encourage your community to commemorate those who lost their lives during past and current conflicts, and to consider the role that the Bible played to bring hope and comfort amid tragedy.
During conflicts both past and current, the Bible’s life words has brought hope to millions of Serv
ice men and women. Lifewords distributed 43 million Active Service John’s Gospels during WW1, designed to fit into the pocket of a soldier or sailor’s tunic. Many drew solace and even found faith, turning to God in times of desperation. These same life words continue to bring comfort today as chaplains use them to minister to currently serving Service men and women, and to veterans.
Encourage your community to gather together in commemoration of those who have died in past and current conflicts, and give away copies of WW1 Active Service St John's Gospels and prayer cards. There are also short films that can be streamed, including a reflection to play during the 2 minute silence.
Order WW1 Active Service Gospels and Remembrance prayer cards to give to your congregations and communities this Remembrance Sunday.
This film contrasts the busyness of contemporary daily life with the daily act of remembrance at the Menin Gate in Ypres, Belgium, and the chimes of Big Ben leading into two minutes of silent reflection.
As the we consider the devastating impact of the First World War, these films look at the role that the Bible played to bring hope and comfort amid the tragedy.
