Soli Deo Gloria - Glory to God alone! - continued from page 9
He actually wept at a grave, and went on to die on a cross, in our place,
and to conquer death by rising again – securing for those who trust in
Him a glorious future in heaven with God for all eternity. And, you know, if
we read the rest of the psalm we discover that God did not remove the
problem for the psalmist but rather protected him from its effects - God
promises to prevent him from slipping on his journey and promises to
watch over him as he goes through the hills and valleys – and He can do
the same for us.
REMEMBERING ROAD CRASH
VICTIMS AND PRAYING FOR
ROAD PEACE
17th November - 3pm
Carlisle Cathedral
The record of injury and deaths in road traffic collisions in Cumbria
is a serious one. In recent years more than thirty people have been
killed annually in road crashes in our county.
This service will allow us to remember those killed and injured,
together with their families and friends. We will also acknowledge
the careful work and costly dedication shown by all those involved
in the aftermath of a crash – including fire, police and ambulance
personnel, doctors, nurses and counsellors.
Those attending the service will be invited to write the names of
those they wish to be remembered on a paper oak leaf. The leaves
will be carried to the altar and laid in the sanctuary as part of an act
of remembrance. Canon Jan Kearton, the Canon Warden at Carlisle
Cathedral, will be the preacher.
Relatives and friends of those who have lost their lives,
representatives of the emergency services, of the clergy and
other caring agencies are warmly invited to attend the
service along with those who wish to bring solace to those
whose lives are affected forever by road crashes and all who
seek a change of attitude towards danger on the roads.
