Following our Worship Service on July 2, 2017, we recognized and celebrated Independence Day and the freedoms we enjoy in our great nation. The congregation gathered in front of the church where Rev. Miller gave recognition to what the Fourth of July means in the history of America. We saluted the Flag and prayed for our country. Those in attendance sang "America the Beautiful" and Pat Yatsko sang "God Bless America" at the conclusion of the ceremony.

Following our Worship Service on May 28, 2017, which featured a stirring rendition of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" by our Choir, we participated in a tribute to Memorial Day. The congregation gathered in front of the church where Rev. Miller paid recognition to those who have served in our armed forces as well as those who gave their lives to preserve our freedoms. He had those in attendance raise their hands if they served, recognized the family members of those who served, and thanked all for their service to our country. The Flag Salute was lead by Peter who was dressed in his Boy Scout uniform. Stewart Holmes, Music director, led the group in singing "My Country Tis of Thee", and Taps was played.
