A time to remember






Next Thursday we will be gathering together at Church to mark the important act of remembrance. This is always a very special service as we reflect on the sacrifice that so many people have made to enable us to live in the freedom that we so enjoy in our country.

Equally though, we also take the time to remember those who are or have been important to  us in our own lives. Those who have made a difference through their love and care for us. Remembering is such an important part of life and this week plays a significant part in our school calendar. Our moment of silence in the playground is a very powerful witness to the importance that those we remember hold in our lives.

Over the week the year six children have been selling poppies and this money will go to support those who have to live with the consequences of those who have lost their lives in the service to their country or have been injured or affected in many other ways. They in particular are a focus of our prayers this week.
