Remembrance Day in Oadby

This Sunday, 9 November, we'll be observing the two minute silence as part of an act of remembrance during our main ten o'clock service.

On this day we welcome Cubs, Beavers, Rainbows and Brownies and we're sure of a special celebration atmosphere as we rejoice at a baptism too.

But for a few minutes the noise quietens and the church falls still. Quietly and in thankfulness, we wait and remember those who have died in war. This year marks the 90th anniversary of the end of the terrible Great War.
