Happy Birthday America!!!!

In Congress, July 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

After the parade

After the parade, people gathered at the Badger Bell which was rung 13 times for each of the original colonies. This is a time to remember what our forefathers drafted for our freedom and independence, which is shared above, not in its entirety. Words that have kept us a free nation! Thank you, forefathers, for your daring, dedication, bravery, and wisdom. Photo by Laura Vroman

Pastor Appreciation Day held in the park

As Christians, do we have an idea what long hours our pastors really put in to giving us our Sunday services? Imagine when it comes time to clean something up...sometimes it goes smoothly. Other times, you stumble, fall, get frustrated because you know what you want, but it’s not quite doing as you desired. Perhaps planning the sermons, church activities are similar for pastors. It’s nice to show them how much they are appreciated in our community.
