Collective Worship – VE Day Anniversary
As we continue the half term we are pleased to be further exploring and reflecting on the value of service.
Through our worship this week have we have looked back 80 years to mark and remember the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE) Day.
Children and staff have reflected on the service given by so many during WWII including those who fought for the freedom we enjoy eighty years on as well as all those who served in so many ways at home including the experience of the many children who were evacuated.
There are some excellent resources that families can use together to explore and learn more about VE day available at BBC Bitesize.
We are pleased to share the Church of England VE Day anniversary prayer.
O God of truth and justice,
we hold before you those men and women
who have died in active service,
particularly in the Second World War,
whose sacrifice brought Victory in Europe.
As we honour their courage
and cherish their memory,
may we put our faith in your future;
for you are the source of life and hope,
now and for ever.
Amen.
