The Church destroyed on 9/11

Did you know that on 9/11/01 a church was destroyed? St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church ^[1] was completely demolished when Tower 2 fell down on it. Fortunately, no one was in the church when it collapsed, but only a few damaged icons and other religious items were able to be recovered.

St. Nicholas Orthodox Church

As you pray for the victims of 9/11 and their families, be sure to pray for this congregation that they might be able to restore their church building. They have had a great deal of troubles trying to rebuild their church ^[2], and I’m sure they would appreciate our prayers.

St. Nicholas, pray for us!
