A bell will toll the minutes of the attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania at 8:46, 9:03, 9:37 and 10:06 with a minute of silence to follow.

During the service, those attending will be able to sing patriotic songs with a special community choir. Anyone who wants to volunteer to work on this service or to sing in this special choir should contact Pastor Michael Henderson at Cayce United Methodist Church, 794-3200. The service is being planned by Lexington School District 2, the West Metro Rotary Club and the West Metro Chamber of Commerce.
