MEMORIAL DAYHonoring � ose Who Have ServedAs a nation, we pause this weekend to honor those who have served or are serving in the military, and especially those who have given their lives while in service to our country. With its proximity to a number of military installations, Williamsburg is home to many retired and active service military families. We have prayed for and supported our military families in tangible ways, celebrated the returns from deployment, and mourned the loss of those who died. We are grateful for the sacri� ces they and their families have made and continue to pray for comfort for these families and others among us who have su� ered such loss. Today we honor all members of the military and their families who are part of our extended Chapel family.
NOTE • Monday, May 25, the Chapel will be closed in observance of Memorial Day.
