Remembrance Sunday 2019

God of all, here with us now, loving us always; sharing our hopes for

peace and our fears for present and future wars in this one world we share; hear us as we pledge ourselves in prayer

and deed to be your peace creating people. Kindle your love within us that we may be your light in the world and

channels of your peace. Amen.

BEING CHILDREN OF THE RESURRECTION WE ARE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD: Today’s readings focus on God being at our side at all times. Through our belief in the resurrection, we are God’s own. Our God is the God of the living. In the Gospel, Jesus answers a treacherous query from the Sadducees. They try to ridicule his belief in the resurrection, but he explains that they have not understood at all the transformation which will take place at the time of resurrection. He does this by using arguments from the first five books of the Old

Testament (the Torah) which, being Sadducees, they have to accept. Jesus is the God of the living. This week, perhaps, we could reflect on the arguments and the words we use to explain our faith to non-believers, and try to encourage others above all through our example.
