ORDER OF SERVICE
GATHERING MUSIC
CALL TO WORSHIP On this Remembrance Sunday we gather to pray for a world where no one will learn war anymore. On this day when the guns once fell silent, we gather for peace to reign in every heart, home and nation. On this day of hope, we come before you, God, to remember all those who gave their lives so we could be free.

SCRIPTURE READING: Psalm 145:1-7, 17-21 (read by Sonja Lundstrom)
ANTHEM: “In Remembrance” (Text and Music: Anonymous; Music: Eleanor Daley) Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.
MEDITATION Bernard Boland—Response: We will remember them. Paul Webster—Response: We will remember them.

The Anthem this Week
The choir sang “Requiem” by Canadian composer, Eleanor Daley in 2012. Our anthem this week, “in Remem-brance” is the central feature of that work, composed in 1993. The copy we are using suggests that the author of the poem is unknown, but two researchers in 1998 concluded that it was written by Mary Elizabeth Frye in 1932, who was so moved by the plight of a German Jewish woman staying with her in Baltimore. The woman told her that her mother had died, and she had been unable to “stand by a grave and shed a tear” because of the growing threats to the Jewish people in Hitler’s Germany. The poem has become a great favorite across the English speaking world, and has also been set to music by many composers.
Dean Pollard, trumpet, will play “The Last Post”, followed by two minutes of silence, and then piper Robyn McCombe will play “The Flowers of the Forest ”. The Flowers of the Forest is now the official lament of the Ca-nadian Forces, played to honour fallen soldiers. It dates back to 1513, memorializing James 1V’s defeated Scottish army at the Battle of Flodden. With the death of James and over 10,000 of his men, it describes the grief of women and children at the loss of their young men. “The pride of the land lay cold in the clay.” The tune was played at Queen Victoria’s funeral in 1901, which has added to its more recent popularity. Also referred to as “The Lament”, it is used at services of remembrance and funerals. At Remembrance Day ceremonies, the great Highland bagpipe breaks the one (or two) minutes of Silence by the playing of The Lament. Then follows the Reveille, which implies hope that there will be a day when the living and the dead arise together.
During the service next Sunday, the choir will sing “Requiem” by French composer, Gabriel Fauré.
