*Call to Worship
We
stand, in silence—remembering the
death.
We
stand, in silence—remembering the
destruction.
We
stand, in silence—remembering the
loss.
We
stand, in silence—remembering the
horror of war
to
the soldiers, to the women, men, and
children,
to the land and all that lives on it.
(silence)
We
stand, in silence—Remembering.
Waiting. Watching.
Working for peace—
in our lives,
in our community,
in our country,
in our world.
In
all these things, with all these
things...we
worship God. Written

Commissioning and Benediction
People of God, once more we return to the world,
remembering what was lost to secure what we have today.
Let this Remembrance renew our faith
in
the peace that God will create.
And let our witness be a guide to others so that we will no longer
have to add names to our sacred task of remembering.
Go in God’s grace and God’s peace.
