One of the biggest challenges for Remembrance Sunday is timing... how to land the start if the two minute silence bang on eleven o'clock, and how to allow for the inevitable unexpected occurences on a Sunday morning.  So, I am currently working at 8 minutes for gathering song, notices, call to worship, hymn, explanation and words of the Act of Remembrance.  That gives us two minutes for moving around, starting slightly late, extra notices or me tripping over my feet.

I am very glad we don't have chiming clocks to contend with, which would reveal the errors of timing.

On the plus side, animated PowerPoint slides offer a great way of timing the silence to exactly two minutes!

Compared with these challenges the reflection will be a doddle - well maybe!
