Many of us remember September 11 as a day that shook our great country. Some see it now as a day to come together and celebrate the bravery of lives lost and the resiliency of our great nation.
9/11/01 Never Forgotten
This year, we spent Sunday, September 11, 2011 at the Cleveland Praise Fest. The 5th annual interdenominational service was held at Quicken Loans Arena and the 3,000+ attendants included civic leaders, clergymen, and television personalities.
The 2-hour service included words by Cleveland pastors, rabbis, and politicians sprinkled with praise and worship songs sung by a mass choir and praise team. One of the speakers was U.S. Representative Marcia L. Fudge, who is also a past national president of Delta Sigma Theta (Lauren: Hi Soror!).
It was our first time visiting Cleveland, and our Arena family in Cleveland. We were lucky enough to get a tour of the arena and meet some of the team members that keep the arena ticking!
We look forward to next year and if you’re ever in Cleveland the second weekend in September, visit the Greater Cleveland Praise Fest to see solidarity in action. If you’re not visiting Cleveland that particular weekend, don’t worry, it’s only a 3 hour drive from Detroit.
