58 men from Shirley died in the Great War (1914-1918).
Join us as we remember them exactly 100 years after the Armistice, and as we pray for peace around the world today.
The service starts at 10.30am on 11th November 2018 and will include 2 minutes' silence and the laying of wreaths; reading the names of the Shirley men who lost their lives in the war; music from the Salvation Army band; prayers for those affected by war today.

As part of our commemorations, we are raising money to repair the Shirley War Memorial outside our church. It needs cleaning, underpinning and some replacement lettering.
A local stonemason has offered his services at a discounted price, but we still hope to raise £500 to cover his costs. If you would like to donate, please click here.
