THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
Rev David Stoter.Sunday is as you all know is Remembrance Sunday
This year a very different occasion, no parades, no march pasts, no services and no singing. Does this destroy the importance of the
day? NO. Real Remembrance is not dependent on the above. The most important part of the parades and services is the 2 minutes silence when we are part of a group of people experiencing intense personal thoughts, feelings and prayers.
Other acts of Remembrance are, because of Covid 19, being experienced in different ways. We are unable in times of lockdown to "do this in Remembrance of me" in the traditional act of receiving holy communion. Instead we can, in our hearts and minds, remember Him and what His sacrifice has done for us, receiving our communion spiritually in intimate silence.
These difficult and challenging times do give us the opportunity to really think about the real meaning of Remembrance
