Armed Forces Wreath

 

We have a red, white, and blue wreath in the narthex where names of those in the Armed Forces, who are in harm’s way, are on yellow ribbons. Prayers for their safe return are offered by our congregations and during our intercessory prayer group. It is wonderful if there are no men or women in this position, but if there are some in harm’s way and you would like them to be included, please notify the office (836-8630) or Irene, 426-9156.
