About September 11

On Sunday, September 11, the 10-year anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center, Kaw Prairie took some time to thank the people who serve in our communities, putting their lives on the line for the well being of others, while also thanking God for the blessing of being able to live and worship in this great country.
We remembered with sadness the losses of that day 10 years ago, and we were inspired once again by the example of those who stepped up to help, at any cost whatsoever to themselves.
We have two identical worship services at KP; one is at 9am and the other at 10:45am. We started off the morning by singing out Hosanna to the God who saves us and who alone is worthy of our praises.
Then we sang America the Beautiful. It was during the first service when, at the end of the song, we sang as a reprise the last line "America, America, God shed His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea." It was right after that I was notified by our tech team that as we were singing that together the clock hit 9:11am.

Thank you Lord for the privilege of living in this beautiful country. May we, like those who've come before us, make the sacrifices each day that will keep this country alive and well, knowing that it is by following in the footsteps of Jesus that we can ultimately make any country, city, or even family, the dwelling place of the Most High, and that our calling is to be the hands and feet of the Father to a whole world of hurting people. Amen.
