Clergy Collective Worship: Remembrance

As part of Remembrance week, in collective worship we remembered those who have lost their lives in war, and also the terrible destruction that war brought to the local area. Did you know that Holy Trinity with St. Phillips is named this way because St. Phillips was destroyed by a bomb, so the two congregations came together on the site of Holy Trinity Church? Rev. Laura also told us about research into the men from our parish who died in war. We considered the sacrifice that those who lost their lives in war made for us and heard a reading from John 15: 12-17: My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
