A Time of Remembrance

November always strikes me as a pensive month as we remember both

those we have loved at All Souls Memorial Services and those who gave

and continue to give their lives for our freedoms at Remembrance

Services.

This is of course a particularly special year marking 100 years of

Remembrance and the ending of WW1. A number of our churches have a

Tommies Silhouette in them, the image of the ‘unforgotten soldier’ is

always a poignant one. My great grandfather, a private in the Sussex

Regiment, died on the battlefields in November 1916 aged 27 just one of

millions of casualties, husbands, sons, fathers… It must all have looked so

bleak and helpless.

On 4 August 1918 King George V called a National Day of Prayer. One

hundred days later the war ended. On 23 May 1940 with allied armies

trapped on beaches King George VI called for a National Day of Prayer

and apparently congregations overflowed, the same day 800 vessels

answered the call to evacuate Dunkirk.

When things look and feel helpless we need more than ourselves, we

need the Divine and we need each other. Let us never be afraid to ask of

either.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them...

Peace be with you,

Nikki

The Rev'd Nikki Mann

This week we have been celebrating Harvest, all the children have taken part in a variety of harvest related activities including carrot writing, straw play, corn on the cob rolling, making bird feeders, bread making and exploring wheat. The children have loved learning about Harvest and experiencing a range of sensory opportunities to support their development.

Ellesmere Garden Club

This month we welcome Michael Warren to talk about “The Passionate Gardener” on Wednesday

14th November. To find out more meet at 8pm in the Ellesmere Centre and also catch up with

friends old and new over refreshments after the talk.

How time flies! This means that next month it will be time for the Club’s Christmas party!

As our chosen venue, Kings in Newmarket, is unable to host us on Wednesday 12th December, the

date publicised on our programme and the website, our meal will now take place on Tuesday

11th December.

We do hope that all of you who wanted to come will be able to manage this change. Please keep the

date free, and look out for an email message with all the details including menu choices and how and

when to pay.

We hope to see as many of you as possible at our meetings, and remember you

can always bring a friend, or just come along even if not a member – you will be

very welcome.

If you have any questions about our events or the club in general, just give

Sandie a call on 507542.

circles. This leisurely exercise had us dancing along with

music from Greece, Bulgaria and other parts of Europe.

and perform a couple of routines in the comfort of our

chairs. These routines were developed by our teacher to

encourage less able and dementia sufferers to enjoy her

classes in Bury St. Edmunds and when she visits care

homes.
