21-Gun Salute at Matthews Cemetery

• Private Joseph Lee Orr was the first American soldier from the greater Charlotte area (and perhaps the state) to be killed in combat ... 9 June 1918.
• Private Grady Bost Hooks was the last American soldier from our area (and perhaps the state) to be killed in combat...just minutes before the cease fire that ended the war...11 November 1918.

Neither Pvt. Orr nor Pvt. Hooks had yet married before their tragic early deaths so there were no children, grandchildren, or great grandchildren to remember them or their heroism. There has been no one to tend to their lonely graves many of these past 100 years, nor to remember that they ever lived at all.  The American Legion will remember Privates Orr and Hooks. 

 

Sunday, November 11 | 12:30 PM

Do you have a burden for children in vulnerable situations? Have you ever wondered if anyone else here does? Have you been looking for support or encouragement in your commitment to care for the fatherless? Or just wondered how to take the first step? Please join us for an informal but important lunch in the CLC (rooms 1 & 2) this Sunday, November 11, after the morning worship service. We hope to identify interest, build connections, share ideas and spend some time in prayer together as we seek to better understand where we are and how we might grow as a church in faithfully practicing "pure and undefiled religion" (James 1:27) through adoption, foster care, mentoring, supporting those who do, etc. Lunch is provided. Please RSVP to Dave Baxter.

Kevin DeYoung's New Book

Are the 10 Commandments still relevant today? Do they still apply? Which ones? What do they mean in light of God's mercy revealed in Jesus? Highlighting the timelessness and goodness of God's commands, Pastor Kevin DeYoung delivers critical truth about the 10 Commandments as he makes clear what they are, why we should know them, and how to apply them. This book will help you understand, obey, and delight in God's law - commandments that expose our sinfulness and reveal the glories of God's grace to us in Christ.
