Churches to pay tribute to Sept. 11 as 10-year anniversary arrives

When terrorists attacked New York and Washington a decade ago, America -- and Coweta -- went to church.

An interracial, interdenominational service was held at First Baptist Church of Newnan soon after the attacks became known, and services seeking to give people solace and hope in that dark moment were held in churches throughout the area. As the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack approaches, numerous church events are being held.

Several churches are paying tribute to veterans and public safety personnel. There also are music programs and events focusing on youth as the 9-11 anniversary nears. Other events are marked by simple tokens of American life -- horseshoes, a family dinner, community outreach.

Royal Baptist Church is honoring first responders this Sunday, Sept. 4 -- a week ahead of the official anniversary date. "We Will Remember" will be held at Royal from 5-7 p.m.

Royal Baptist, located on Mayo Royal Industrial Drive off Highway 16 West, will hold a truck-and-bike show at 5:45 -- following registration from 5-5:30 p.m. Truck categories will include Redneck Truck, Muddiest Truck, Best Hunting Truck, High Tech Redneck Truck, Farm Truck, Street Truck, Classic and People's Choice.

Bike categories will include Loudest Pipes, Sport Bike, Cruiser and People's Choice. Trophies will be given.

There will be free hot dogs and soft drinks -- as well as cakes homemade by some of Royal's most talented bakers. Door prizes will also be part of the fun.

The event will also include a service recognizing first responders -- those who often get to the scene of an accident, injury or severe illness ahead of other emergency personnel. The service will feature the Royal Voices of Praise.

A number of churches have special events planned for Sept. 11 itself.
