According to an anonymous writer on the internet – “In times of turmoil and tragedy, First Responders are the people who run toward the crisis. They never ask for our gratitude, but they certainly deserve it.” We can express our appreciation for these heroes by attending this SNC where Capt. Jim Wasem of the Arlington Police Dept. will share.
We hope you can join in the fellowship over the good food of the potluck which will follow. Just bring a side dish or a dessert to share please. We are joining with the youth group, and Tim will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs.
The National Cathedral hosted the service three days after the terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001. The Rev. Billy Graham preached; President George W. Bush spoke, and the Very Rev. Nathan Baxter and the Rt. Rev. Jane Holmes Dixon officiated.
