The Jesus Party Patriotic Mentor Jerry Der Boghosian gave a special talk to 50 area children, recalling the tragic story of the sinking of the U.S.S. Dorchester as an ongoing project of the children’s ministry to promote God and Country. DerBoghosian focused on the bravery and faith of the four chaplains that were on board 69 years ago who sacrificed their own life preservers so others could be saved. The chaplains from various faith backgrounds joined arms, said prayers and sang hymns as they went down with the ship. For more information on the ministry and upcoming patriotic events call Rev. Douglas Taylor at 786-5568 or SisActs1@aol.com.
