Here’s another Sept. 11 memorial event for you to take note of. From Pastor Liv Larson-Andrews:

“We Come. We Cry. We Pray. We Hope.

We gather for an ecumenical service of prayer and lament on the eve of September 11, 2011. We mourn the loss of life, we lament the rule of violence over the last decade, and we prayerfully seek peace for the decade to come. All are welcome.

Salem Lutheran Church

1428 W Broadway Ave, 2 blocks west of the courthouse

The service will include readings from scripture and elsewhere, a ritual hand-blessing, and a community art project. ” Sounds like it will be a touching service. Have an Sept. 11 service you’d like us to post? E-mail [email protected]
