fall of the night, your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He turned away from you. The life to come holds a richer prize for you than this present life. You shall be gratified with what your Lord will give you 93:6 Did he not find you an orphan and give you shelter? Did he not find you lost and guide you? Did he not find you in need and make you content? 93:11 Therefore do not wrong the orphan, nor chide away the beggar. But show the bounty of your God. ❧ ❧ ❧ ❧ ❧ ❧ ❧ ❧ ❧ ❧ ❧ The Revd Dr Anders Bergquist, the Churchwardens of St. John’s Wood Church and the Deir Yassin Day Committee warmly welcome you to this commemoration.
