Four chaplains’ Sunday service will be at 10:45 a.m. Feb. 6 at First Christian Church, 17 N. Center Street.

All veterans and guests are welcome.

Veterans are to meet at 10:30 a.m.

The service recognizes chaplains, a Jewish rabbi, a Roman Catholic priest and two Protestant ministers, who issued life-belts to American servicemen aboard the troop transport ship after it was torpedoed Feb. 3, 1943. When the supply of life preservers was exhausted, the four chaplains removed their own life belts and gave them to four soldiers.
