🇺🇸 We Remember — September 11, 2001
Twenty-five years ago today, our nation awoke to a morning that would forever change us.
Nearly 3,000 lives were lost. Families said goodbye without knowing it would be the last time. First responders ran toward danger while others were running away. In the days and years that followed, countless families carried grief that no anniversary can erase.
Today, we remember.
We remember the lives that were taken. We remember the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, military personnel, and ordinary citizens who demonstrated extraordinary courage. We remember the husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters whose lives were forever changed.
And as the Church, we remember that in a world where suffering and death are painfully real, our hope is found in Jesus Christ.
“God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.”
— Psalm 46:1
Twenty-five years later, there are still families for whom September 11 is far more than a page in a history book. It is personal. We pray that the God of all comfort would draw near to them today.
May we also remember how precious life is, love our neighbors well, pray for our nation, and never take for granted the freedoms and blessings God has given us.
Above all, may we point a hurting world to the One who has conquered death and offers everlasting hope.
We remember September 11, 2001. We honor those we lost. We pray for those who remain. And we place our hope in Christ. 🇺🇸
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
— Matthew 5:4
