The church welcomed Stanley Praimnath as the special guest speaker. Stanley is only 1 of about 6-8 survivors of the 9/11 attacks in New York who was at the same level of the impact.

Stanley shares the following brief portion of his story as he says; "Suddenly I see this big gray airplane with red letters on the wing and tail filling my window," Praimnath says. "It’s coming right at me." Praimnath drops the phone and tucks under his desk in a fetal position as the plane obliterates the wall. The impact is a prolonged, gut-wrenching screech, a hideous, metallic roar. "It sounded like a huge steel cage being ripped apart," Praimnath recalls. Intense smoke and soot punctuate the agonizing explosion. Then silence. A flame interrupts the awful blackness, revealing a protruding aircraft wing blocking the exit only 20 feet away. I’m going to die, Praimnath thinks. Yet he cries out to God. "Lord, help me," he prays, trying to stand. "I can’t do this by myself. I don’t want to die. I want to see my two little girls." Tears spill from squinting eyes as he realizes he is buried shoulder deep in debris. A nail pierces his right hand. Pain sears his body. "Lord, You take control," Praimnath says aloud. Struggling to his feet, he is instantly showered by dust and debris anew as the ceiling gives way. Hands claw; legs thrash. Mercifully, his desperate plea seems momentarily answered. "God gave me so much power in my body that I was able to shake everything off," Praimnath says.

Special patriotic music was presented by the Gospel group, “Family Circle”, and the song “Amazing Grace” was played on the bagpipes by representatives of the Lochiel Emerald Society. A special meal followed the service.
