Huge respect to all our Emergency Services today but particularly to those who serve in Dorset Police. You are valued and we are grateful. @dorsetpolice
It was a privilege to lead the Remembrance Day ceremony for @dorsetpolice today with excellent music from the DP Brass Ensemble resounding in the sunshine. The silence seemed somehow more poignant this year
For those who are people of faith you may find the following prayer helpful
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.
We mourn the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II , the death of such a significant national figure can resound with our emotions in deeper ways than we might expect. Your chaplaincy team is available if you need someone to speak to. @dorsetpolice
@dorsetpolice wishing everyone in Dorset Police a merry Christmas. For those who are on duty today, stay safe and I hope the shift is not too demanding. Thanks for being there and doing what you do.
Sorry to share the announcement that tonightโs Dorset police Carol service has been cancelled. Disappointing, but we need to keep people safe. The service might be cancelled but Christmas is not! @dorsetpolice
Thinking about all our officers, and all emergency and essential workers, having to be out in this stormy weather serving their communities. Stay safe out there and enjoy a hot brew when you get back in. @dorsetpolice
privileged to lead the act of Remembrance at Police Head Quarters today, and to be joined by many officers, staff and retired officers. #WeWillRememberThem@dorsetpolice@DioSalisbury
A privilege to lead the Dorset Police Memorial service honouring those from the Dorset Police family who died during the pandemic. A candle lit for each, & memory ribbons tied to the tree by those who came to remember . @dorsetpolice @CCScottChilton @DioSalisbury@polchaplainsuk
Today is the International Day of Prayer for our Emergency Services. Whatever your faith (or not) why not spend a moment in prayerful contemplation giving thanks for our incredible Emergency Services #waveofprayer
Our thoughts & prayers are with Juliaโs family & friends & colleagues at this time. Please do remember that your chaplains are here for you if you need to speak to someone. https://t.co/aZnwQQ7VYS
