The church's founder, Bishop Paul Morton, is hoping that memories of the storm and the people it affected will not fade with time.
'It's really about a day to remember, that we appreciate that they were a part of this city, that they worked in this city, that they supported this city, so that they are not forgotten,' Morton said.
