Tuesday, Sept. 11 marks the 17th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States, and Farmersville will show honor and remembrance in a variety of ways.

Police, firefighters and EMS will participate in the annual Public Safety Sunday at Galloway Memorial Church of God in Christ.

Services start at 10:30 a.m. and the community is invited to attend the church service and share thanks for first responders in their local community.

Each year, local first responders attend church together with their families and friends on the Sunday preceding the 9/11 anniversary. Churches rotate hosting Public Safety Sunday.
