A Prayer on 9/11

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families forever changed on September 11, 2001.

Lord, we ask You to bless and comfort those who still carry the weight of that day. May we never forget the unity, courage, and compassion that rose from the ashes.

Grant us peace in our world, strength in our communities, and love in our hearts. May we always honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice by living with faith, hope, and kindness.

We will never forget.

Please join us tomorrow at 5:30PM in the Sanctuary for this special ceremony commemorating the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
