This Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York.
“It’s such an iconic day and it so deeply affected all of us, even those far away from the attacks,” said Signal Crest United Methodist director of music Allan A. Ledford, referring to that September day when seemingly all of America watched in horror as buildings and lives came crashing down. “I think people want to remember the unsung heroes and pray for peace.”
Signal Crest United Methodist Church members put in place a Peace Pole at Signal Mountain Playhouse in preparation for the 9/11 Community Service of Remembrance.

Host church SCUMC welcomes everyone in the community to attend.
“We are considering this a service to remember and a service to pray for peace in our world,” said Ledford. “It felt appropriate at a milestone 10-year mark to remember those who lost their lives in the attacks and those who gave their lives, but also remembrance of how a nation came together.”
