Happy July 4th...

Although most of us are patriotic all year round, the Fourth of July gives a chance to truly celebrate our country.  We are blessed to live in a land that affords such freedom and opportunity, and that is protected by such brave men and women. These famous quotes on patriotism celebrate our nation and our love of country

Where liberty dwells, there is my country.
- Benjamin Franklin

"The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but the God of Israel is He that giveth strength and power unto His people. Trust in Him at all times, ye people, pour out your hearts before him; God is a refuge for us."  Abigail Adams

"Religion and virtue are the only foundations, not only of all free government, but of social felicity under all governments and in all the combinations of human society."  John Adams

"I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth--that God Governs the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?  Benjamin Franklin

Freedom is not a gift bestowed upon us by other men, but a right that belongs to us by the laws of God and nature.  Benjamin Franklin

"The patriot who feels himself in the service of God, who acknowledges Him in all his ways, has the promise of Almighty direction, and will find His Word in his greatest darkness, a lantern to his feet and a lamp unto his paths.' He will therefore seek to establish for his country in the eyes of the world, such a character as shall make her not unworthy of the name of a Christian nation...."   Francis Scott Key

Baby Shower

This Sunday afternoon at 3:00 in the church fellowship hall, the family of Crystal F. will be hosting a baby shower for Crystal who is expecting a baby boy.  "Baby Ragon" is expected to arrive August 26, but seems to be a little anxious to meet his family!  Crystal is registered at Targett if you need gift suggestions.  The Church family is cordially invited to celebrate with Crystal and her family.

Mission Trip Donations

Recently a sign up sheet was passed around to receive donations of food to take on the association wide mission trip.  The deadline to receive the items will be this Sunday to enable the items to be packed and ready for the trip. 

The sign up sheet is on the bulletin board if you need a reminder of what to purchase, and you may also check your items off when you turn them in.  There is a box set up to receive the donations.  Thank you for your support.
