St John's Wingates
Chorley Road Wingates, BL5 3PL, United Kingdom
Please join us as we hold our Remembrance Sundays Service at St John’s on the 12th November at 9.30 am.

O God of truth and justice,
we hold before you those whose memory
we cherish,
and those whose names we will never
know.
Help us to lift our eyes above the torment
of this broken world,
and grant us the grace to pray for those
who wish us harm.
As we honour the past, may we put our
faith in your future;
for you are the source of life and hope,
now and for ever.
Amen.
