If you happen to be in Birmingham on Sunday you are welcome to join the Remembrance Sunday service at City Road Methodist Church. The service starts ten minutes earlier than usual - at 10.50am - so that we can observe the national two minutes silence at 11.00 am.
Decorations can be worn, and will be welcome, with poppies available in the church foyer. I will be leading the service.
Please stay for refreshments and fellowship after the service.

Thank you for the invitation which I will have to decline as I am also leading worship on Sunday morning at our Darlaston Church service starts at 10.a.m. so I may have to run over to include the silence (nothing unusual there I hear some people say)
At least you have the silence at the end of the service. I feel that having the climax son near the beginning puts a bit of a dampener on the rest of the service. I am never certain whether to retain the remembrance theme throughout or revert to the normal lectionary.
Last year I took a service that started at 10-30a.m. and effectively did two services - one either side of the silence and included a recording of the last post and reveille at the beginning and end of the silence.
