Commemorative John's Gospels marking 80 years since WWII

The first commemorative events for the 80th Anniversary of VE Day will take place from May 5th to May 8th

During World War II, British soldiers were given a Bible or Gospel to carry into battle. Many of these Bibles included a message from King George VI, encouraging them to turn to God for strength and guidance in difficult times.

This commemorative edition of John's Gospel invites us to share that same message with others today, as we celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II in 2025.

Churches commemorating the 80th anniversary of VE Day with community events, street parties, special services or school assemblies can purchase commemorative John's Gospels featuring WWII faith stories from Hope Together. Click here to purchase
