VE Day - the 80th
On 8 May 1945, Winston Churchill announced that World War Two had finally come to an end. It had been a long saga. There was the Battle of Britain. There was raitioning. Even bath water was affected (no more than six inches?).
Many people in Britain sacrificed the normal comforts of life. Others sacrificed their very lives.
On this day, Churchill also said the nation could allow itself "a brief period of rejoicing". Exactly how brief it was is hard to say but something was urged by the Prime Minister, "let us not forget”. On this, the 80th anniversary of VE Day, we still make it a point not to forget.
On Sunday, FBC will be reflecting on the end of the war as well as what the bible says about war in general. It won't be a deeply theological journey but a recognition that we can find hope in the scriptures. And we all need a bit of hope.
We start at 11am, do join us.
FYI, if you are new to the Luton area, you are most welcome to join any of our meetings.
