Almighty God, Lord of Hosts: Look favourably upon thy servants Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. Jackson, who so valiantly fought for their country against the Northern aggressors. Grant us, we beseech thee, to revere the example of these good men; to honor them for their defense of their nation’s institutions and way of life; and to keep their cause alive in the hearts and minds of their sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For well over twenty years, parishioner (and 11:00 AM service usher) Lt Col John Zebelean has given the altar flowers on Lee-Jackson Day weekend to the glory of God and in memory of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
