Notes for Sunday 8 November 2026

Dear friends,

Quite often I find myself contemplating the sorrows of war. Each time there is a news item on Ukraine, Iran, Ethiopia and so many other parts of the world the horror of the senseless killings and destruction of homes and nature presses.

The cost of lives is not just of mostly young soldiers but of civilians and indirectly of the people who suffer because money that could be used to support vulnerable people the world over now goes to funding destruction.

Please remember all of this in your prayers today and every day,

God bless,

Dineke van den Bogerd
