Remembrance Day is observed each year on November 11. For years when November 11 does not fall on a Sunday, Remembrance Sunday is celebrated by most congregations on the preceding Sunday.
Two Canadian Armed Forces chaplains remember United Church minister, the Rev. William Alfred Seaman, who served as a chaplain during World War II and is among those who lost their lives in Normandy 75 years ago.
Across the United Church, there are many approaches to marking Remembrance Day. In contributing a new selection of prayers for use in a Remembrance Sunday service, my hope was to address the wide variety of needs of different church congregations.
