Message from the National Council of Churches
The Kentucky Council of Churches is planning a "Compassion Sunday" service remembering the victims of both the terrorist attacks of 2001 and the Gulf Coast hurricane of 2005. The service, at 3 p.m. EDT on Sept. 11 at Central Baptist Church in Lexington, will be broadcast via satellite and the Internet to congregations and homes across the country. It will include religious leaders from many faith traditions, including Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim and Hindu communities. During the broadcast, information on organizations helping provide relief to hurricane victims will be provided. Information on how a congregation or individual can watch the telecast via satellite and/or the Internet will be available after the Labor Day holidays at www.kycouncilofchurches.org.
