Service of Remembrance and Hope

tombstonesHelp us remember!

Interfaith Service of Remembrance and Hope
for Health Care for All

Tuesday, October 20th - 12:00 noon

National City Christian Church in Washington, DC

On the October 20th National Day of Remembrance and Hope, people of faith all over the country will wrap their hearts around the unnecessary suffering and deaths that occur every year due to lack of needed health care. Set to coincide with activities planned on the same date by many other organizations, this Day of Remembrance will demonstrate the faith community's effort to say, "We won't forget!" It will be our opportunity to commit to continuing our work in hopeful expectation for comprehensive and compassionate health care reform.

The Interfaith Service of Remembrance and Hope at National City Christian Church will include the stories of those who have died and will feature music, prayer, liturgical dance and candlelighting in their memory. Attendees will enter the service with the mournful sound of bagpipes, and will be graced with the music of one of the district's finest organs before and after the service.

Please RSVP to assist with our planning! And then, share this invitation with your friends, family, and colleagues. It is our participation in events such as this that will demonstrate our collective moral witness for health care reform. It will be one more affirmation that we seek a health care future grounded in the sacred bonds of our common humanity, compassion, shared responsibility, concern for those who are most vulnerable, and faithful stewardship in the midst of abundance.
