9/11 Memorial Concert
Thursday, September 10, 7pm
Do join us on Thursday, September 10, at 7pm, in church for a concert offered by our music ministry. We will pay prayerful tribute to those who have served as military and first responders as we commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11. In prayer, Scripture, and song, we will also remember those who were victims of this senseless tragedy. In addition, we will remember all those who have fought for our freedoms these 250 years of our nation, especially those who served in Pearl Harbor 85 years ago.
Please join us on this night of prayerful and patriotic reflection.
