Daylight Savings Time ending for United Kingdom, EU, Ukraine, etc.

Early Sunday morning, the United Kingdom, EU, Ukraine, and various other nations will change their clocks to go back to Standard Time and off of Daylight Saving Time:

When Is the Time Change?

Clocks in most European countries will be turned back by 1 hour on October 28, 2018 at 01:00 UTC. Since Europe spans several time zones, the switch will occur at different local times (see table below).

Upcoming DST changes worldwide

Might Be the Last

The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union (EU), has recently pushed to end the yearly clock changes in Europe.

If the initiative is successful, the last EU-wide DST period will start on Sunday, March 31, 2019. Each member state would then have the chance to decide if they stay on “summer time” (DST) year-round or change their clocks once more on Sunday, October 27, 2019 to observe permanent standard time in subsequent years. In that case, the upcoming time change would be the last joint switch from DST to standard time in Europe.

For this reason, all subsequent clock changes in European countries are now marked as preliminary on timeanddate.com. https://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/europe-dst-end-2018.html

Because of that, sunset will be over an hour earlier this Friday in many lands. This change will affect the USA and much of North America November 4th as that is when those regions go off Daylight Saving Time.

This will affect not only those in the Churches of God, but others who keep the seventh-day Sabbath such as observant Jews and Seventh-day Adventists.
