JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning, the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church.
Today, our nation recognizes the sacrifice of all the men and women who have given their lives in the service to our country in the many wars that we have fought it. I know that for most people it is a day for grilling out, time with family, and the beginning of summertime fun.
What we must remember on this day is that the reason you and I can grill out, spend time with family, and enjoy summertime fun is due to the sacrifice of those men and women.
Jesus said no greater love does a person have than to lay down their lives for another. We may never know the stories of all those names that this day our nation remembers, but we do remember their sacrifice. I hope that today we take some time out and remember why this day is so sacred to all of us. Let us pray for peace in the world, and may we live this peace with others.
