Good morning, Detroit! This Memorial Day, beneath the banners and beneath the cross, we remember. We remember those who answered the call to serve — those who carried the weight of duty, sacrifice, and love of neighbor, often at great cost to themselves. The flags hanging in this sanctuary remind us that behind every branch of service are real people: sons and daughters, husbands and wives, friends and brothers in Christ.
In a world that often forgets sacrifice, Memorial Day calls us to pause with gratitude. We give thanks for those who laid down their lives in service to our nation, and we pray for all who still bear the wounds of war in body, mind, and soul.
