Today is officially Armistice day when we remember all those who have given their lives in the pursuit of Peace since World War One This was commemorated across the UK yesterday and will also be observed today. Armistice day was borne out of the prelude to Peace talks on November 11th at 11am in 1918 as World War 1 came to a close.

Many say in todays world that they do not believe in war, but this is not a celebration of war. This is remembering those who since that first Great War and all the conflicts since, have made the ultimate sacrifice, that we could walk around in a relative freedom that some will; never know on this earth plane. It is important to remember all those young lads and then women in more recent conflicts, and maybe humankind at some point will learn something.

Yesterday in Chawton we had our Remembrance Service in Chawton and Kevin Trefry came to visit. Kevin gave a lovely address as he shared his thoughts and gave practical ideas for sharing our love in our every day life. He then brought our messages. Thank you so much Kevin. We loved having you!!

We had lovely prayers and readings from the family, and Ken read ‘The Charge’ which was very poignant. Thanks to another wonderful cake creation by Carole, hospitality, Lisa on music, our healers on hand afterwards and all those who set up and break down the evening!!

Prayer of the week.

In view of this remembrance time, let us pray for Peace in this world of constant conflict.

Calendar up later.

Have a beautiful week as the temps dip down. Wrap up. It’s getting chilly..

There is nothing like an autumn leaf snack, and these guys take full advantage. As the weather drops. rabbits can be seen running along the edge of country roads at dawn and dusk in search of food, and fortunately they do not have to hibernate as they build their burrows and create warrens – (a grouping of them) They can cuddle up with each other and keep nice and snug throughout the colder times coming, and so can be relatively unaffected by the dropping temperatures.

The European rabbit is the most common but is not actually native, but was introduced by The Normans from the mediterranean in the 12th century, so he has been around a long time. His symbolism is obviously one of fertility but also abundance and good luck. A rabbit crossing your path is a sign of a new chapter emerging.

We are all for new chapters at church as we push the barriers away and try to understand more of Spirit. Last night was no exception as Rob, our President gave an address and a lovely demonstration of just how close Spirit can get and we were able to ask questions.. Thank you Rob! A good evening!

An evening chaired by our own lovely Sarah Dorgan, and readings and prayers from the family. Thank you to Lisa running music, Carole with a mince tart and a bakewell tart. How can we go back to just biscuits!! Our healers on hand, and all who set up and break down each and every week

Prayer of the week.

Please pray for those in the dire situation of flooding in Valencia. So much rain in such a short span has caused death and destruction for so many.

Calendar up next.

Enjoy the fireworks. I am sure there are more to come! Those who have pets can snuggle up with Classic FM gentle and soothing music for Pets and their people, and we spare a thought for those in the natural world who might be affected.
