Veteran’s Prayer

Monday the 11th is Veteran’s Day. Let us remember all who have served and sacrificed for our freedom:  

A Prayer for Veterans

Proud of our nation,

they answered her call –

Defending the freedom

and safety of all.

On land or on sea,

or in jets high above.

They went out to duty

and honor and love.

But however they served, Lord,

wherever they went,

Please bless them

and help them

to know what it meant!

And help us to thank them

on Veteran’s Day –

for we owe them far more

than we ever could say.

Cold is coming

Cold weather is coming

In this time, we wish all a safe journey wherever they are traveling to. We especially wish for your safety during the upcoming holidays. The weather is getting colder, wetter, and soon icier. Be careful and pray for the safety of others.
