This year Armed Forces Sunday was a special celebration for our church family. The service began with special music sung by the choir. Major Jeff McFetridge prayed our opening prayer. After we saluted our flags, Pastor Smith presented several gifts to our service men. Each branch of the United States military was recognized as Pastor Smith and Pastor Kirchner handed out gifts to each man who had served. Special awards were also given to our oldest and youngest members in the service. Miss Lanaya McNeil sang our National Anthem. After Miss McNeil sang the National Anthem, Pastor Smith preached a powerful message on staying faithful for Christ.
Following the message, we paid a special tribute to one of our World War II veterans who had recently passed away. We showed a special interview with him regarding his time spent in the Philippines defending our nation and the Filipino people. After the wonderful service, our church family held a special lunch to further honor our service men and their families.
