Try the Fethiye Community Church at the Ernur Hotel in Calis.
Regular services at 1000 hours each Sunday.
They have a web site www.fethiyecommunitychurch.com
Certain to have a memorial service on Remembrance Sunday.

Hello,
I contacted the church about the same question. Basically they don't have a service but prayers are said during the usual service. The reason for this is because they said the American community don't know about it. However, they did say that if any one had any suggestions or ideas they would be very welcome.

Here is the email I received:

No planned remembrance service at present. If you would like to try to arrange something, talk to mike on Sunday, as he is usually open to suggestions. Americans don't know about Remembrance Day and last year we just prayed during the service. Maybe your friends would like to come on Sunday for that?

The email I have is: paulandlynda@mac.com

tetmeister,

Did you go and if so what was done?

Personal interest as we attend while on holiday and I was surprised that the event was not marked as,at least during the holiday season,the congregation is predominately British.

I didn't John.My four yr old daughter made poppies,and we had a quiet family moment to remember all those sacrificing life for our sakes over the years,particularly those in the great War,and a shame our last foot soldier,mr.Harry Patch passed away this year.In my daughters words" we wear poppies to remember all of harry patch's friends don't we daddy".We most certainly do.
