Liturgical resources for World War One commemorations

The Church of England has produced a set of Liturgical Resources for use at services commemorating the anniversary of World War One on 4 August (or on Sunday 3rd) downloadable from their website below.

Please send us photos and/or reports from any commemorative services you hold, or pictures of the memorials in your church grounds or building.

The Church is central to the First World War commemorations. Many of those who gave their lives in the conflict held fast to their Christian hope of life with Christ beyond the grave. Indeed even for those who were not churchgoers, the role of the chaplain was important in bringing comfort and reassurance as they faced combat.
