Incarnation of Our Lord Church, Bethlehem issued the following announcement on September 12.

All good gifts come from your hand,  O God

and into our clumsy grasp

you entrust the precious realities

of life, justice, and peace...

We remember this day

how fragile is world peace

and our vulnerability

in each other’s hands...

We remember those who died

and those who mourn their loss...

We remember those whose courage

gave us new models for bravery...

We remember those who gave their lives

to save their neighbors...

We remember that day, that sunny morning

when our nation's borders were broken,

pierced to the depths of our hearts...

We hunger and pray

for the healing peace

that only you can give,

that we all long to share...

Bring us to the day, O Lord,

when war is but a memory

and peace our way of life;

when a harvest of justice

will nourish every nation...

Hasten the advent of that day, O God

and let our pride not stand in its way... 

Hasten the day of justice and peace

and let nothing we do

keep us from its promise...

Amen.   

- (A. Fleming)
