Remembrance Sunday

God, our refuge and strength,

bring near the day when wars shall cease

and poverty and pain shall end,

that earth may know the peace of heaven

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Additional Collect for this Sunday

Welcome to St Paul’s Church

Sung Eucharist 10.30 am

If you require a large print hymn book or order of service or other leaflets, please ask one of the sidespeople. There is a loop system in operation in the church for those who wear hearing-aids.

There is a Sunday school in the hall next door, children leave during the first hymn and return halfway during the service at the Peace. There is no crèche but parents and carers are welcome to look after very young children in the narthex area at the back of church at any time during the service.
