We will gather in the sanctuary today, at 10:00 a.m. for a time of prayer. Mary Nordeen, who was in Brooklyn serving as an administrator for a Lutheran school on 9 11, will share her reflection.

“God of mercy, receive those who died, comfort all who grieve, and heal those who still carry the wounds of September 11. Turn us from fear and hatred, and make us faithful servants of reconciliation, justice, and peace; through Jesus Christ, our hope and life.” — Amen
