Remember Them
Once again, we must ask for your prayers for the family and friends of a fallen soldier. It was reported today by the MoD that a soldier with the 1st Bn. The Yorkshire Regt. has died in Afghanistan from a gunshot wound.
Father in heaven, we praise your name for all who have finished this life loving and trusting you, for the example of their lives, the life and grace you gave them, and the peace in which they rest. We praise you today for your servant and for all that you did through him. Meet us in our sadness and fill our hearts with praise and thanksgiving, for the sake of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ.
Amen
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

Remember Them- 398
The 398th member of our Armed Forces has been shot and killed whilst on patrol in Afghanistan. He was a member of the R.A.F.Regiment. His family know. Let us each, in his/her own way, pray for his family and friends at this sad time.
Lord, we pray for those who mourn, for parents and children, friends and neighbours. Be gentle with them in their grief. Show them the depths of your love, a glimpse of the kingdom of heaven. Spare them the torment of guilt and despair. Be with them as they weep beside the empty tomb of our risen Saviour, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
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.

Remember Them - 404
It is with great sadness and anger, that we record the death in action of six more British soldiers in that worthless piece of ground, Afghanistan. We have now lost 404 of our people who have given their lives in their fight against terrorists of the Taliban.
As we think of those six lads, we pray for their families and friends. Father of all mercies and God of all consolation, you pursue us with untiring love and dispel the shadow of death with the bright dawn of life. Give courage to the families in their loss and sorrow. Be their refuge and strength, O Lord, reassure them of your continuing love and lift them from the depths of grief into the peace and light of your presence. Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, by dying has destroyed our death, and by rising, restored our life. Your Holy Spirit, our comforter, speaks for us in groans too deep for words. Come alongside your people, remind them of your eternal presence and give them your comfort and strength. Amen

Remember Them 405
With the death reported today of a soldier of the Mercian Regt. we again mourn for another brother, who has given his all in Afghanistan. 405 have now died there. We pray for his family and friends.
Lord of all, we praise you for all who have entered into their rest and reached the promised land where you are seen face to face. Give us grace to follow in their footsteps as they followed in the way of your Son. Thank you for the memory of those you have called to yourself: by each memory, turn our hearts from things seen to things unseen, and lead us till we come to the eternal rest you have prepared for your people, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
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.
