St. John’s Lutheran Church celebrated and honored our veterans on Sunday, November 8, with a special time of recognition and appreciation.
Sam Rob shared the story of his family’s generations of military service, beginning with his grandfather, continuing through his sons, and remembering his late wife. He highlighted the different branches in which they served and where they were stationed.
Members of the congregation who had served were invited to stand and come forward to share their branch of service and where they had served. We were also grateful to welcome representatives from a local quilting organization who distributed handmade quilts to veterans who had not received one last year. Their dedication to honoring veterans through these quilts is truly appreciated.
The morning concluded with a delicious breakfast in the fellowship hall, featuring quiche, pancakes, cake, and more.
Thank you to all who have served and to everyone who helped make this a meaningful celebration of our veterans!
