Parishes by the Wall - Living Faith on the Frontier

Sunday 10th November 2019

The Parish Eucharist at 9.30am, held at All Hallows' Church, Henshaw was followed by a Service of Remembrance at the War Memorial led by Rev.Dr Benjamin Carter.

In addition to the traditional red poppies, purple poppies were included in the display, in memory of the animals who lost their lives during the wars.Stones with a poppy on  and inscribed with the name of a soldier were secreted arond the village for the children to find and then place on the War Memorial.

Thanks , once again, are due to the ladies of the WI who worked so hard creating the wonderful display of poppies.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

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
