Remembrance Season 2023

Saturday 11th November – Psalm 22:22-31  ‘All will remember’

11th November 2023 by asadmin

Today is Armistice Day.  At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the armistice was signed and peace was declared to mark the end of the Great War.  Around the world today, and on Remembrance Sunday tomorrow, people will mark this moment in different ways, and take an opportunity … Read more

Friday 10th November – Psalm 63  ‘The night watch’

10th November 2023 by asadmin

Peter Kay’s adverts for John Smith’s bitter in the early 2000s years still rank as some of my favourite ads of all time (I used to test and research ads for a living, so I’ve always had a soft spot for the ad break).  One of the best starred Kay as a dad comforting his … Read more

Thursday 9th November – Psalm 25  ‘Not forgotten’

9th November 2023 by asadmin

God has not forgotten you.  At the risk of sounding like a scratched record (and I have plenty of those, as Alise will tell you), I want to return to Monday’s theme, from a different angle.  You are not forgotten. The world is a big and confusing place, and our current news headlines only serve … Read more

Wednesday 8th November – Isaiah 53:4-6  ‘Healed by his wounds’

8th November 2023 by asadmin

‘Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.’  John the Baptist’s iconic words addressed to Jesus in the first chapter of John’s gospel are rooted in today’s famous passage.  Ever since the time of Exodus, the image of the sacrificial lamb had come to symbolise God’s rescue of his people.  … Read more

Tuesday 7th November – Isaiah 52:7-10  ‘Beautiful feet’

7th November 2023 by asadmin

Recently I watched the Sound of Music for the first time in many years.  I’ll always remember my first viewing of the film – after Charles and Di’s wedding in July 1981.  We watched the ‘wedding of the century’ then all sat and watched The Sound of Music as a family.  Perfect. And it’s hard … Read more

Monday 6th November – Isaiah 11:1-10  ‘Not forgotten’

6th November 2023 by asadmin

Remember, remember, the 5th of November…. so the old nursery rhyme goes, and one that we learned at school.  I imagine you may have done too!  Today’s passage is another trip down memory lane: in this case prophetic memory lane.  About 250 years previously, God had promised King David – son of Jesse – that … Read more

Saturday 4th November – Isaiah 9:2-7  ‘The Prince of Shalom’

4th November 2023 by asadmin

I suspect many of us at present find it hard to watch the news – you may, indeed, have given up on it altogether.  There seems to be so much violence, so much instability, so many reminders that peace in this world is fragile and hard to maintain, however sophisticated we consider ourselves to be. … Read more

Friday 3rd November – Isaiah 2:1-5  ‘Swords into ploughshares’

3rd November 2023 by asadmin

A few years ago, at the All-Age service for Remembrance at All Saints, I showed the congregation a paper clip, and asked them to come up with as many creative alternative uses for this simple object as possible.  We had about 75 young people there, representing the uniformed organisations, and they weren’t short of ideas!  … Read more
