It may be tempting to think we honor veterans by carving out a time to recognize them in the service once a year. What I suggest goes beyond a singular Sunday and encompasses the whole church for the whole year. 1. Create space for veterans to share their stories. Every human heart has a longing to know and be known. 1. Offer a brief, genuine and specific moment of recognition from the pulpit prior to worship, perhaps saying, “Today as we prepare to worship, we express our gratitude to all of those in our congregation who have served in our nation’s military. 6) Set up a veteran’s altar with picture of veterans, mementos, or poems. This takes clear communication and invitation well in advance. Start this year and cast your net wider next year. 7) Don’t confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day or Armed Forces Day. Veterans Day Worship. Many churches like to incorporate a small Veteran's Day observance into worship the Sunday before the Nov. 11 holiday. This year, the eleventh itself is a Sunday, so a prayer or other recognition may be even more appropriate, keeping in mind that our worship is directed only at God and not human heroes. Unlike Memorial Day, which honors those who died while in military service, Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans—living or dead—but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.
