Fellowship of Faith to Honor America's Veterans

On Sunday, November 10, 2013, at 9:00 am, Fellowship of Faith Church International will convene a special worship service honoring America’s veterans.  Senior Pastor Wayne Thompson, a veteran of The United States Marines, will lead the congregation and community in a tribute dedicated to the men and women who have served their country in the United States military.  The congregation will also gratefully honor first responders.

Along with previous military efforts involving the United States, September 11, 2001 shed clear focus upon the importance of a committed and well prepared group of citizens dedicated to protecting American territory.  Fellowship of Faith Church International will lead the community in reminding veterans that their sacrifice, labor and dedication have not gone without notice or appreciation.

Included among speakers for the occasion are veterans of various branches of the armed services including; Solomon Bynes, Jr., whose veteran father (Solomon Bynes, Sr.) served in Montford Pointe and received the Congressional Medal of Honor in Emancipation Hall in Washington, DC in 2012.  Veterans Mary Williams will represent the United States Army and Michael Fuller will represent the United States Air Force.
