 | | Smith to perform new song at Memorial ceremony
On a day when many celebrate the faith that guides them, the Oklahoma City National Memorial will hold a multi-faith ceremony of prayers, readings, music and hope on the 14th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. The 14th Annual Remembrance Ceremony will take place April 19, at 9 a.m. on the Outdoor Symbolic Memorial.
“We have seen that so many have used their faith as an important step in their healing and since April 19 this year falls on a Sunday, we wanted to honor symbols of faith as a way of showing how this community has healed over the past 14 years,” said Kari Watkins, Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum executive director.
Acclaimed Christian recording artist, worship leader, and speaker Jami Smith has written a new song inspired by the symbols of faith that help so many to heal after tragedies such as the Oklahoma City bombing.
The song, Stand Together, is a celebration of the hope and healing that happens through a community’s journey of faith. Smith will perform Stand Together as part of the ceremony.
Smith was inspired by the many symbols of faith that can be seen throughout the Memorial. Items that have been left as mementos and prayers on the fence, or captured in the personal belongings that help tell the story of that day inside the Memorial Museum to visitors from around the world.
