ANNOUNCEMENTS
• Convergence – Sat. June 7
• Announcement Channel

COT
• 94 years ago today (in 1931) the Star Spangled Banner became the National Anthem. • it was written by Francis Scott Key in 1814.
• Key watched the assault of Fort McHenry from a British Naval ship attacking Ft. McHenry. He had been sent to try to negotiate the release of prisoners, and then was held captive himself until after the battle because the British feared he would give away plans of their upcoming attack on Ft McHenry. • Key wrote the words, but not the music to the song.
• The music is from the British drinking song, “To Anacreon in Heaven”
– Anacreon is a Greek lyric poet, notable for his drinking songs and erotic poems.
– So our national anthem is set to music that was originally an ode to a Greek erotic poet.

COT:
Shedding our burdens, sharing your vulnerability during these CoT’s, that’s how we continue to support one another.
“If all were perfect, what should we have to suffer from others for God’s sake? But God has so ordained, that we may learn to bear with one another’s burdens, for there is no man without fault, no man without burden, no man sufficient to himself nor wise enough. Hence we must support one another, console one another, mutually help, counsel, and advise, for the measure of every man’s virtue is best revealed in time of adversity — adversity that does not weaken a man but rather shows what he is.” ― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
