Bull Shoals United Methodist Church Ordinary Times Pastor Pete Beevers Box 210 1000 Lynette St 870-445-4113 E-mail: umc@suddenlinkmail.com Web-site: www.bullshoalsumc.com Sunday Worship Service 9:00 A.M. The month of September often brings to remembrance -- 9-11 September 11 th An unforgettable day in America s history an unforgettable day in America s growth. Time magazine called it a day of infamy, a day of carnage, injustice, and slaying of the innocent. However, there is another side to our day of infamy, for times of great catastrophe also bring prayer, tears, and champions. Where life is lost on a massive scale, people respond with massive prayer, and the day takes on a sacred presence. September 11 th was, indeed, a day filled with massive amounts of prayers and tears, as faces covered with blood cried out from the rubble while the face beside them lay silent in death. Sunday School Classes 10:30 A.M. But it was also a day filled with champions, unbelievable acts of bravery and sacrifice... people helping people carrying one another to safety from burning towers people helping people digging, shoveling, tugging, lifting, to pulling others to safety from a mountain of concrete and steel people helping people by flooding centers to donate life-giving blood people helping people by giving their own lives as they purposely crashed a jet liner in an unpopulated area September 11 th was above all else a day where a few people who wished to hurt brought out a multitude of people who wished to help, a day where the worst of humanity, brought out the best of humanity, a day where sinners and saints came together in a surrealistic mixture of horror and heroism.
