Celebrating Our Freedom

     As we are now in the Memorial holiday weekend and tonight is our first public performance of our annual "Freedom Celebration" a  program honoring area servicemen and women and thanking God for our freedom and our country.  As we honor them for their sacrifice, we also point them to Jesus as the one sacrifice who gives us freedom from payment for our sins.

     "Freedom Celebration" in the past has brought in the old, the maimed, service families left behindMUSICAL PRACTICE, the newly enlisted young and brave and those who emotionally have never recovered from their battles. They will come to hear the music, get their gifts or for a time to socialize with others in their respective divisions.  We will love on them and honor them and tell them the truth about real freedom.  It won't be "in your face" and the spoken message will be the shortest part of the program.  But God will be there, every song, every skit will be permeated with his Spirit.  The "fallen soldier" ceremony can touch the hardest heart.  Pray with us that their eyes and ears and hearts will be open to receive Him as Lord and Savior.  Tomorrow we perform again at 2:00PM.

That is great that you guys have a special tribute. Every soldier that has ever served deserves our complete respect and appreciation.

It was fabulous!

As the young and strong Army guys dressed in their fatigues helped the old  soldiers to the stage to be recognized ,as the song for each service division was sung and each  flagged area for each division filled with both men and women that served in it.  Many were the tears!

Each war named and the number of dead from each called out. Families recognized - guess you had to be there and I was.  What a privilege to be a part.

This went so well & as I did the spotlights from the balcony I could see everyone & lots of them were crying.  For the second performance many came back and cried again!
