100 years ago… 100 years ago this week (May 31st—June 1st) the Battle of Jutland took place. This was the largest Navel battle in WWI and members of our congregation had father who fought in it. The total loss of life was 9,823 men, of which the British losses were 6,784 and German losses were 3,039. This scale of loss happens all around our world even today, through war and through other reasons such as hunger. This week, pray for the peace of the world around us, that the catastrophic loss of live that was experience in Jutland may never be repeated. As a Christian people, let us commit to: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and

compassion to one another. 10 Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.’ Zech 7
