Ten years later:
What has this time meant in your life?
What has changed?
What has grown?
My generation grew up remembering Pearl Harbor and what followed that destruction by an enemy -- I remember my father grimly going out into the neighborhood during blackouts in his Air Warden's hat. Today's generations are galvanized by 9/11.
We have a particular privilege this Sunday: The Rev. Tom Murphy will be with us as Guest Preacher and Celebrant, for a special service remembering September 11 and those who died. He is a gifted preacher. Please call the Church Office, 973-256-5020, by Thursday, to submit the names of those you wish to have remembered.
Please come; bring your memories, hopes, losses, and dreams for the future to God, and find the blessing.
