9/11 10^th Anniversary Service | Never Forget  …HOPE

Central Christian Church (3475 Kimball Avenue) will be holding a service of remembrance and hope upon the occasion of the 10^th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on New York City, the Pentagon, and the passenger airline that crashed in Pennsylvania.

This experience will:

• Remembering and honor the victims and those who sacrificed lives for others upon the 10th Anniversary of September 11, 2001.

• Honoring those who make our lives safe and our community a great place to live, work and raise families.

• Address hope, how it is happening, and the source of ultimate hope that guarantees — times have been hard, but it is about to be GREAT.

The experience will include four featured speakers:

Chief Daniel Trelka

Director of Public Safety for the City of Waterloo, IA

Dr. Susan Kosche' Vallem.

Professor at Wartburg College.  Dr. Kosche is a wonderful Red Cross supporter, trainer and volunteer, who was deployed to the 9/11 tragedy.

Candice Mann

With this being the 10 year anniversary, I would like to help show others the strength I’ve gained growing up in a post 9-11 world, and to show thanks for the kindness and generosity that I have seen communities give to those who suffered from the attacks."

Tara Thomas

News Anchor & Reporter for KWWL.
