ANZAC Remembrance 2024
We will remember them…
As Anzac Day comes around, we reflect on the Anzac spirit and the loss and heartache associated with war. The horror of war exposes the best and worst in humanity. When we look at current world events, it is not hard to see that our world is in need of compassion and peace. The lessons hoped to be gained from the suffering of two world wars and other conflicts and atrocities, have not been learned.
More than ever, the teachings of Jesus Christ, and the simplicity of Jesus’ words ‘to love one another’ are the words of hope we need to cling to and act out in our everyday lives.
More than ever, as Christian people we need to hold those affected by war and conflict in our hearts.
More than ever, as Christian people, we need to pray for those who are affected by acts of violence, those close to us and those across the seas.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders Fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place. While in the Sky
The larks still bravely singing, fly
Unheard, amid the guns below.
We are the dead, Short days ago
We lived, felt dawns, saw sunsets glow;
Loved and were loved – but now we lie
In Flanders Field
