O Lord our Lord,
Today is a day of remembrance. We honor those who have gone before us on whose shoulders we stand. We honor those who have given their life in service to their country. We remember and we offer our respect. Surround us, O Lord, with Your love and empower us with Your grace. In Jesus’ name we pray, AMEN.

Tomorrow family and friends will honor Betty Waddell during a graveside service. The church is also providing a meal.
The tentative time for Abe Preston’s funeral is Friday at 2:00 p.m. Please watch the newspaper and future emails for a confirmation.
A number of us honored John McFaggen’s on his 101st birthday Saturday at Golden Oaks. It was a wonderful celebration.
The scripture for today is Matthew 24:32-35:
“From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Grace and peace,
John McLemore
