ALT Welcome Churches New patron: The Rt Revd Dr Guli Francis-Dehqani, Bishop of Chelmsford
ALT I'm especially pleased to commend the work of Welcome Churches which equips and encourages local congregations to open their doors and their hearts to people who've arrived in the UK seeking safety and the opportunity to rebuild their lives. I'm grateful for all that the charity does and to be associated with you as a patron.
Today on #ArmsticeDay, we invite you to join us in prayer:
Lord God,
On this day we especially ask that you would hold for ever all who have suffered during warfare ...
1/4 #LetUsPray #WeWillRememberThem
Remember too those who acted with kindly compassion, those who bravely risked their own lives for their comrades, and those who in the aftermath of war, worked tirelessly for a more peaceful world.

And as you remember them, remember us, O Lord; grant us #peace in our time and a longing for the day when people of every language, race, and nation will be brought into the unity of Christ’s kingdom.
This we ask in the name of the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

O God of truth and justice,
we hold before you those men and women
who have died in active service.
As we honour their courage and cherish their memory,
may we put our faith in your future;
for you are the source of life and hope,
now and for ever.
Amen.
