Welcome to Railway Street Meeting House for this annual Remembrance Service. Our theme today is, 'A Tale of Two Cities.' Following that theme we will find ourselves looking back and then looking forward. We look back to a city that had experienced the shattering consequences of war - the city of Jerusalem. Perhaps no other city in the world has been fought over as much as this one. But then we will look forward to the coming of another city - an eternal city, not built by human hands - the New Jerusalem. And as we do that we will also see we what, or more accurately, who it is that brings about that transformation from the old Jerusalem to the New Jerusalem.
