*THE SUMMARY OF THE DECALOGUE Leader: Hear what Christ our Savior said, “You shall love the Lord your God

with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first Commandment. And the second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the Prophets.”

THE LITANY OF REMEMBRANCELeader: O God, our help throughout the ages and our Sustainer for

years to come, we thank you for the lives of our brothers and sisters of Mother Emanuel AME and all the ways they have blessed us.

PEOPLE: SOME ARE STILL WITH US. SOME ARE NO MORE.Leader: May the remembrance of their love, their courage, and

their compassion call us to gratitude throughout our lives that generations yet to come may give you praise for their legacy until that day when you make all things new.

PEOPLE: WE PRAY THAT THE POWRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL

CONTINUE TO COMFORT AND HEAL ALL THAT HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THIS TRAGEDY. WE PRAY THAT YOUR LOVE WILL SURROUND THEM ON THIS DAY AND CONTINUE TO GIVE THEM THE STRENGTH AND POWER TO CONTINUE THEIR JOURNEYS OF FAITH.

Leader: We know that the Emanuel 9 did not die in vain. We pray that you make us a living testimony of their lives and that their stories, told through us, will bring love, justice, and harmony to the world.

ALL: IN A TIME FILLED WITH TRAGEDY WE DARE TO HOPE FOR A TIME YET TO COME IN WHICH THE SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS, GREED, THE AMIBITIONS OF POWER, AND CULTURAL, RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS BIGOTRIES ARE BUT MEMORIES OF A DIM AND UNENLIGHTENED PAST.

THE APOSTLE’S CREED:

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ his only son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead; and buried. The third day He arose from the dead, He ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Church universal, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.

THE CALL TO REMEMBRANCEToday we pause to remember with thanksgiving and sorrow those faithful 9 martyrs of mother Emanuel AME Church who fell victim to racism and hatred and now live in eternal victory in Christ Jesus.We pause to remember and call before the Lord:

The Reverend Clementa Pinckney Cynthia Hurd The Reverend Sharonda Coleman-Singleton Twyanza Sanders Ethel Lance Susie Jackson Depayne Middleton Doctor The Reverend Daniel Simmons Myra Thompson

We also give thanks today for those who survived the Emanuel tragedy and for their continued witness to the relentless love of God. May God continue to strengthen them as they live to tell the story.

GET FIT AND STAY HEALTHY The purpose of Men’s health month is to raise awareness of preventable

health problems and encourage early detection of disease and infirmity. Regular checkups and age-appropriate screenings can improve your health

and reduce premature death and disability. Always ask your doctor about early screening especially if you have a

family history of a disease. A quote from Congressman Bill Richardson, “Recognizing and

preventing men’s health problems is not just a man’s issue. Because of its impact on wives, mothers, daughters and sisters, men’s health is truly a family issue.”
