Battle of Dranesville Peace Service

Our annual peace service, commemorating the Civil War Battle of Dranesville, is Friday, Dec. 20, at 7:00, at the Dranesville Church of the Brethren, 11500 Leesburg Pike, in Herndon. The battle, one of the first in the war, pitted 10,000 men on both sides on Dec. 20, 1861. As we've researched the battle, we've found the names of many who died there, as well as copies of letters the survivors wrote about it – for many, their first battle. Our service highlights the Brethren position on war, and is extremely moving. Come join us.
