4th Sunday

The Fourth of July fell on a Sunday this year. I’m sure several used the excuse to play hooky and church. Our church service honored those that had served and those continuing to serve to allow us to worship and live freely.
We even welcomed one of our own home from a tour. A young man I’ve known my whole life. I was so glad he was able to make it back to celebrate with us. He’d been serving in Japan and was able to have leave and return to the states during the holiday which we celebrate freedom. He should be home at his new station in California this evening.
Church members presented photos and other memorabilia to honor the service men and women. Instead of rushing home to gather up the necessities and heading to the area lake or celebrate a private meal, the members brought in homemade desserts to add to the fried chicken dinner.
