The church office will be CLOSED Friday, July 3 in observance of the Independence Day (July 4) holiday.

PRAYER: God of righteousness and grace, as our nation celebrates this Independence Day, remind us of our complete dependence upon you. … We ask you to keep this nation, and all nations, under your care, that we may be peoples who are at peace, and who are a blessing to others on this earth. Grant our nation’s leaders wisdom, that there would be times of peace and justice in our land and in our world. … – Rear Admiral Mark L. Tidd (2012 )
