Helping people across the county to remember those who gave their lives for our freedom and safety. O God of truth and justice,
Doorstep RemembranceBecause of Covid-19, there are requirements this year that attendance at publicly organised Acts of Remembrance is kept to a minimum. To enable community Remembrance in Suffolk, we encourage as many as possible to observe Remembrance on your doorstep with a two minutes silence at 11 o'clock on Remembrance Sunday, 8 November. Or you can download and edit the Remembrance prayer card available from the Church of England.
