Each year the Mayor of Kidderminster, councillors and representatives from the forces and community groups gather at the Angel of Peace in front of St Mary's Church to observe Remembrance Sunday - honouring those who have lost their lives in warfare and in the defence of this country.
The observance begins outdoors at the Memorial, with the two minutes silence and wreath laying. Then we move into church to complete the service.
The event begins at 10.45 am when the procession will have arrived from the Town Hall. The service in church will end by 12 noon.
All are welcome to share in this special occasion.

We invite you to our weekly Eucharist - the service of Holy Communion in which we receive the consecrated Bread and Wine. We come together to be with Jesus Christ. We gather as a Christian community to pray, to listen, to sing, to worship and to receive the Sacrament. We have people here who are regular worshippers, and very often visitors either from the town or coming from a distance. And there is a chance to chat and to meet new people over refreshments after the service.

Children are welcome. And if you need it Communion can be available with Gluten-free and alcohol-free elements - please speak to the stewards when you arrive. If you are not sure about receiving Communion, you are still welcome.

Coming together in this way helps us deepen our Christian understanding and equips us to live out our faith day by day.

And if you want to find out more about Christian life and belief, or have questions about the Church, you can speak to someone here.

Come and see - we will be glad to welcome you.

Please note - the service on November 10th will NOT be a Eucharist.
Instead there will be a Remembrance Sunday service at 10.50.
