Avinurme remembers its War of Independence dead, 2004
Avinurme mälestab Vabadussõjas hukkunuid, 2004
Avinurme was the scene of fighting in the War of Independence, and wounded Estonian soldiers were murdered in its church. In 2004 a service was held in memory of the Avinurme battle, and plaques were unveiled for the men of the parish who fell in the war and for the soldiers murdered in the church. Lembit Lauri's soldiers' hour opens with the service and continues with veterans' memories. The wooden-towered Avinurme church still stands in the centre of the small town.

Eesti keeles
Vabadussõja ajal peeti Avinurmes lahing ning kirikus mõrvati haavatud eesti sõdureid. 2004. aastal peeti Avinurme lahingu mälestuseks jumalateenistus ja avati mälestustahvlid Vabadussõjas langenud kihelkonna meestele ning kirikus mõrvatud sõduritele. Lembit Lauri „Eesti sõduritund“ algab jumalateenistusega ja jätkub veteranide meenutustega. Avinurme kirik seisab tänini väikese aleviku keskel.
