    57663 Federal Register Presidential Documents Vol. 85, No. 179 Tuesday, September 15, 2020 Title 3— Proclamation 10070 of September 3, 2020 The President National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, 2020 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation During these National Days of Prayer and Remembrance, we pay tribute to the nearly 3,000 precious lives lost on September 11, 2001. We solemnly honor them and pray that those who bear the burdens of unimaginable loss find comfort in knowing that God is close to the brokenhearted and that He provides abiding peace. The memories of that fateful morning still touch American hearts and remind us of our Nation’s reliance on Almighty God. When cowardly terrorists attacked our homeland, we witnessed the unthinkable as each successive plane struck the very heart of our Nation. As the Twin Towers fell and the Pentagon was hit, the peace and calm in the lives of innocent families were shattered. Our Nation watched in shock as courageous first responders faced great peril to save the lives of their fellow Americans. Onboard United Flight 93, a group of heroic individuals braced themselves to stop hijackers from hitting our Nation’s Capital. Passenger Todd Beamer told Lisa Jefferson, a call center supervisor in Chicago who stayed on the phone with him until the end, that he would ‘‘go out on faith’’ and asked her to recite the Lord’s Prayer with him over the phone, beginning: ‘‘Our Father, who art in heaven.’’ Despite immeasurable loss, we were not defeated. Our Nation’s darkest hour was pierced by candlelight, our anguish was met with prayer, and our grief was met with unity.

  • Appendices 1 – 12
    APPENDICES 1 – 12 Religion Course of Study PreK-12 --- Diocese of Toledo --- 2018 Appendix 1: God’s Plan of Salvation -- A Summary (Used with permission, Diocese of Green Bay, WI) It is very important that before we dive into the religion Course of Study each year, we set the stage with an overview of God’s plan of salvation – the adventurous story of God’s unfailing love for us, his persistence in drawing us back to himself, and the characters along the way who succeed and fail in their quest for holiness. The context of the Story of Salvation will provide the proper foundation for the rest of your catechetical instruction. The Story can be taught as a one-day lesson, or a week long lesson. Each teacher must make a determination of how long they will take to present the Story to their students. It is important that the story be presented so that each of us can understand our place and purpose in the larger plan of God, as well as how the Church is central to God’s plan of salvation for the world. An overview of God’s plan is to be presented at the beginning of each year, and should be revisited periodically during the year as the subject matter or liturgical season warrants. Please make the presentation appropriate to the grade level. 1. God is a communion of Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The three Persons in one God is the Blessed Trinity. God has no beginning and no end.

For those of us who grew up in the Disney era, we have been trained to watch out for good and evil, with the belief that the heroes will come to save us. Despite anything that happens, we always know that the heroes will always win, and the villain will fail. However, a story does not seem to be complete without the villains. If the heroes do not have any villain to fight, then how do we define their acts as being heroic? Villains provide a conflict that intrigues the audience as well as readers because it gives the heroes conflict and something to look forward to. Without the conflict of the villains, there will be not much to the backstory of the heroes. Therefore, villains are a great addition to the success of a piece of work.

  • We Belong to Him Galatians 4; Ephesians 1-2
    Brian Fisher Grace Bible Church We Belong to Him Galatians 4; Ephesians 1-2 God our Father turned His face away from the Only Begotten, so that we, children of sin, wrath and death, could be adopted into the family of God. Praise God! We belong to Him! Need for belonging • Ladies, there are other ways that you experienced rejection or belonging growing up, but for guys it was choosing teams on the playground. • Stressful time. Reoccurred every day. o Established your value as a human being for that day o Asked my kids; who would you pick? Depends on the contest? Math, science, history, soccer, basketball? Always pick those who can perform the best. Depending on how badly you want to win, you might even skip over your friends. Playground is a cutthroat world! • We all want to belong. We all need to belong. And we want to know that there is a valuable contribution we can make. The most fundamental way that God has revealed Himself is as a Trinity: Father, Son and Spirit, enjoying one another, loving one another for all of eternity. Creating in order to share that love, to invite us into that love at the initiation of the Father. What does a great father do? A great father creates a great family. In a great family... • You belong (group). And this is a group worth belonging to • You are special (individual) o No matter how many children are in the family, within this special group, you have a special place; unique contribution only you can make • God, our Father, has done this for you.

In 2014, Lee was honoured to be asked to co-produce Neil Diamond’s “Melody Road” album alongside the tremendously talented Don Was. “Melody Road” debuted at #3 in America and #4 in the UK as it received universal critical acclaim. Lee has gained much recognition as a writer producer over the last five years. In 2014 also Lee co write and produced various singles for Kodaline’s second album “Coming Up For Air” which peaked at #2, while he also produced and co-wrote Twin Atlantic’s Radio 1 A-listed singles “Heart and Soul” and “Brothers and Sisters.” In addition, Lee spent some of the year writing and producing track for alternative urban artist Raury.
