Yes, it is a holiday weekend, but it is our hope that you will find time (make time?) amidst your many
plans to attend worship in community this Sunday. The theme for the morning is
“On Mortality…and Memory.”
“The true meaning of Memorial Day is not homage… it is not to honor those who have served, those who
have died for our nation. Oh, that is what the media will tell us, what the President will say when he lays a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery in a few days. I expect him to strike a tone of “honor our dead, and standing resolute.” No, it is not honor that our war dead ask of us. Honor is the easy way out of the vision they call us to.” ~ Rev. David Pyle
