Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II
It is with great sadness to learn of the passing of Her Majesty the Queen. She died peacefully at Balmoral on Thursday 8th September. The UK's longest reigning monarch, was aged 96 and reigned for 70 years. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family and The King.
"Gracious God, we give thanks for the life of your servant Queen Elizabeth, for her faith and her dedication to duty. Bless our nation as we mourn her death, and may her example continue to inspire us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen."
