Remembrance Day

This morning just before 11:00am our school gathered for Remembrance Day. The students learnt about how the tradition of Remembrance Day and prayed for those who served our country and lost their lives.

The end of hostilities in the First World War was actually agreed to at 5.00am on 11 November. However, it took another six hours before all fighting units received word that the armistice had been agreed that fighting should cease. Germany surrendered unconditionally.

It was felt that the time when all hostilities finally stopped was the more appropriate time to remember the service and sacrifice of men and women involved in World War I. This day was named Armistice Day from 1918. And so we remember at ‘The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month’.

Let us pray...  Lord, many people we know and love have served in our Armed Forces to help make the world a more peaceful place.  We lift them up to you – those who have died and those still with us.  May our prayer today help bring them and their loved ones comfort, peace and hope.  We make this prayer to You in the name of Jesus, the Lord.  Amen.
