May 2023 Life Together

Life Together Memorial Day

Written By John Arnett

Memorial Day celebrations began after the Civil War concluded in 1865, and Union General John Logan introduced legislation in 1868 making it a National Holiday to honor those who served in the armed forces Originally, it was called Decoration Day Taps (created in 1862) are played at 3pm on Memorial Day each year

Following the conclusion of WWI, Armistice Day was celebrated on November 11 and that name was later changed to Veterans Day, also honoring members of the U S Armed Services

From 1961-2005, on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, CHBC printed in the bulletin the names of church members who had died the previous year In 2006 this remembrance listing and recognition was moved to All Saints’ Day on the first Sunday of November.

On the church website in the History section, there are two relevant sections of remembrance: “Memoriam” listing all the members of the church who have passed on and “CHBC Veterans” listing members of the church who have served in the Armed Forces over the years.

In the church archives there is a document detailing how the church has honored members of the armed services over the years. There is also a listing of those who have served in the Peace Corps or declared for Conscientious Objector status. Also, in the archives, are binders containing printed obituaries of deceased members we have collected over the years since 1908. If there are additions to these lists and collections or corrections, contact John Arnett (arnettj1@gmail.com).

Sadly, on this Memorial Day, we also remember those people who passed in the senseless shooting at the Old National Bank on April 10, and we pause to remember all those countless others who have died because of gun violence in our country.

For the past 20+ years, Knott County Central High School's Speech Team has built a reputation of being one of Kentucky's best programs After facing life-altering floods that forever changed Knott County, these students rallied to place Runner-Up in the recent state competition, with many performers winning State Championships for their individual performances Now they are heading to Phoenix, Arizona for the National Competition.

On May 13th, Crescent Hill will host a showcase of these talented, articulate, and resilient students ahead of their national competition. Entry to the showcase is open to all, with a suggested donation of $10 that would go towards the team's expenses in getting to nationals
