Flags of Peace

Peace Lutheran Church is hosting the Flags of Peace Event from Sept. 10 – Sept. 12

The church will fly 150 flags in honor of the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 9-11. The church is looking for sponsors and others to purchase flags.

The flags will be lit each morning. A ceremony at 9 a.m. Saturday will kick off the day full of events and food from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. A special Sunday worship service will be held at 10 a.m.

Visitors can see the police K-9 unit, lower Alabama search and rescue, fire trucks, Junior Marines and participate in a flag retirement ceremony.

Purchase a flag for $35 and decorate the pole in memory of someone you love. Purchased flags can be taken home.

Proceeds from the event support First Responders of Baldwin County, “Helping Kids Thrive Ministry” to provide items to school children.

Corporate sponsors include Culver’s, Porch Creek Indians, Community Hospice of Baldwin County, Marine Corps League (Cpl. Joseph Whitehead Det. 1370), and Cason Funeral Home.
