O God, our hope and refuge,
in our distress we come quickly to you...
We come remembering those who lost their lives
in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania...
We come remembering
and we come in hope,
not in ourselves, but in you...
In commemorating this tragedy,
we give you thanks for your presence
in our time of need
and we seek to worship you in Spirit and in truth,
our guide and our guardian. Amen.
Excerpt of prayer by the Rev. Jeremy Pridgeon, First United Methodist Church, Panama City, Florida, via Discipleship Ministries, The United Methodist Church.
As the world commemorates the 20th anniversary of September 11, 2001, a few United Methodists who survived those early days, weeks and months near Ground Zero, share how 9/11 shaped their faith.
United Methodists rose to the challenge of caring for survivors of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, but many of these helpers needed support afterward for their own trauma.
