Remembrance Day 2015

Remembrance Day
At Mologa November 11 th 2015
The service by: Rev Pamela Lawry
Welcome and introduction
Would you sing with me
Abide with me
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide:
The darkness deepens: Lord with me abide:
When others helpers fail and comfort flee,
Help of the helpless, oh abide with me.
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless:
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness:
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes:
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies:
Heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee:
In life, in death, O Lord abide with me.
Prayer

Reading Psalm 23
John 15: 9- 14
Prayer of Remembrance
To day we remember with thanksgiving those who
made the supreme sacrifice for us in time of war. We
pray that the offering of their lives may not have been
in vain. Today, we dedicate ourselves to the cause of
justice, freedom and peace: and for the wisdom and
strength to build a better world.
Lets all join together in saying
The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us this daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom.
And the power and the glory,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

In Flanders Field by Lieutenant
Colonel John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

The Ode from the poem “For the Fallen,”
by Laurence Binyon
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.
The Last Post
We pause in silence, to remember
The Rouse
National Anthem
Australians all let us rejoice.
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair!

Prayer
God bless Australia
Guard our people
Guide our leaders
And give us peace
And peace to those who laid down their lives
To defend our nation
We remember their courage and sacrifice
With thanks for the freedom we enjoy
In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen
Blessing
And may the peace of God which passes all
understanding keep our hearts in love and joy of the
Lord. Amen
A warm invitation is extended to all to stay and enjoy
the BBQ.
