(Communion - that Jesus died for us so that we could be forgiven and be God�s friends )
(5) Sammy is wearing his Poppy What does the poppy help us to remember?
( those who died in the war)
Today, we set aside time to remember. At 11 o�clock in churches and at war memorials all over Scotland and elsewhere people will stand in silence to remember. We remember the men and women who gave their lives so that our world might have peace. We remember those who even today are risking their lives so that there might be peace and freedom once more. We remember that our God is a God of Peace and that it�s important that you and I try to live at peace with one another and settle our arguments without having to fight or squabble.
