Please watch this update from Christoph about the lockdown coming into effect tomorrow and Remembrance Sunday. (6min 30sec)

However, our online Remembrance Sunday Service this coming Sunday at 10.30am WILL go ahead! Here are two ways in which you can take part in the remembering this year:
Make a poppy (weather-proof, please) and attach it to the netting around the yew tree in front of St Mary’s Church (please bring a peg, too). There are many creative ways in which you could make a poppy. For inspiration, you may want to watch this video…
If you attach your poppy before Saturday morning we can include it in the pictures of the tree in our online Sunday service.
We are inviting you to record a short video of yourself, saying “We will remember them”. We will then combine all the faces and voices for our response on Sunday (at our online service). Please spread the word and send your video to rector@denhamparish.church by the end of Thursday.
Should your video be too large to email, please use wetransfer.com.
(By sending us a video you give permission for it to be used online.)
Whether you can contribute in these ways or not, do join us for our ONLINE Remembrance Service this Sunday at 10.30am and spread the word. You will find the service here on our website at www.denhamparish.church/blog.
There will be a short wreath laying ceremony on Sunday at the War Memorial in the churchyard. However, due to government restrictions, we can only accommodate community representatives laying a wreath, members of the armed forces, uniformed organisations or veterans. If you qualify, please register beforehand by contacting our Rector on email (rector@denhamparish.church) or leave a phone message (01895 834733). We are planning to record this short ceremony onto video to show it on Armistice Day.
IMPORTANT UPDATE ON SUNDAY 1 NOVEMBER:
Latest government guidance indicates that from Thursday, 5 November, places of worship will be closed. We are seeking clarification for Remembrance Sunday.
Today we will remember those we love, think about what it means to be a saint and reflect on one of Jesus’ most famous speeches.
This is a service for all ages with contributions from our children and young people and a special ‘poppy’ activity.
Join us after the service for Church Coffee Online on Zoom. All links can be found below.
