Today the church remembers The Dorchester Chaplains who went down with their ship in WWII

                                                        Genesis 22:8

 Isaac said 

 to his father

 Abraham, 

“Father!" 

 And he said,

 "Here I am, 

 my son." 

 He said 

"The fire and

 the wood 

 are here, 

 but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" 

 Abraham said, "God himself 

   will provide the lamb for a burnt

       offering, my son.” So the two of 

                  them walked on together.

The USS 

Dorchester,
a troop carrier,
was torpedoed by
a German U Boat in  1943. Aboard were 4 chaplains, Methodist, Jewish, Reformed Dutch & Roman Catholic . Having given their life vests to save the lives of others aboard, they “remained on the aft deck, arms linked 
in prayer, until the ship sank.
