Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day are as important this year as ever, as we remember everyone who has sacrificed so much in continued difficult times, but especially this year, the ongoing war in Ukraine and now the dreadful violence in Israel, Gaza and the wider dangers.

Remembrance Sunday service for the Langton villages

Remembrance Service: Sunday 12th November, 10.30am,
St Peter’s Church, Church Langton

The service will take place in St Peter’s Church in Church Langton, starting at 10.30am and lasts for about an hour. The service will be lead by Rev Martin Hathaway and Lay Incubment, Maxine Johnson, with contributions from our church members from Tur and Thorpe Langton.

The collection taken at the service in St Peter’s will support the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.

Act of Remembrance and Two-Minute Silence: 11am

The Act of Remembrance and two-minute silence at 11am take place inside the church as part of the Remembrance Service, when the names of our local war dead are read and the wreaths for the Langton villages are blessed.

Laying of wreaths at the War Memorial: 11:45 – 12noon

After the service in church, the congregation will process from the church to the village green where where the wreath for Church Langton will be laid on the War Memorial.

The wreaths from our sister villages will be returned and laid at their village memorials separately.

We hope you can join us for the service in St Peter’s and the laying of the wreath at the village green.

“When you go home, tell them of us and say
For your tomorrow, we gave our today.”
