The events

of Sept. 11, will also be commemorated at Christ Our Shepherd Lutheran

Church by two "Worship Services of Remembrance, Prayer and Healing."

Services are planned for noon and 7 p.m. on the anniversary of that date,

at the Peachtree City church.

The noontime

service will include instrumental music by Darla Wilmot, Kathy Rothfusz,

music director David Beecher and others. The Rev. David Epps of Christ

the King Episcopal Church and the Rev. John Weber of Christ Our Shepherd

will offer messages of hope and healing.

The evening

service will include the instrumental music of the adult hand bell choir,

the Martin Rudy Brass Quartet, Don Wilmot, Rothfusz, Beecher and others.

Boy Scouts will present the colors and there will be a ballet interpretation

of America the Beautiful. The adult choir will present music of hope and

reliance on God's promises.

Messages of

hope and healing will be offered by the Rev. Ronald Warren, bishop of

the Southeastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

The Rev. Miriam Beecher of Christ Our Shepherd will also preach.

Both services

will include the sacrament of Holy Communion and will be rich with music,

scripture, readings, and prayers. A slide presentation of remembrance

during the prelude will also depict children's understanding of Jesus'

love and care for his people. Worship leaders include children, military

and airline personnel, Stephen Ministers, and the prayer team.

All airline,

fire, police, military and medical personnel are invited to come in uniform

to honor those who have been on alert and have stood strong on America's

behalf. The public is also welcome.
