Pray:
Dear God, it is important for us to remember the sacrifice others made so that we could live the lives we have today. Be with all those who mourn and help us to learn from our history. Amen
Father in heaven watch over our loved ones.
Keep them by your side.
May they be safe and peaceful, in you may they abide.
Give wisdom to the doctors and nurses too we pray,
renew their strength and bless them for the work they do each day.
Send healing and restoration and let them feel your love.
May your Holy Spirit give them rest as gentle as a dove. Amen (taken from Praying Together)

Was anyone in your family involved in either WW1 or WW2? Ask some relatives if they can give you some information about family members who lived during this time.
