World War 1 Centenary Commemorations

During 2015 - 2018 Churchill Methodist Church commemorated veterans of World War 1 who died during the war and came from the Churchill area. This happened in the Sunday Service as close as possible to the centenary of their death. The 100th Anniversary of the Armistice passed in 2018 but we are keeping details of the fallen of Churchill on our website - Their Name Liveth For Evermore - we will remember them!
