The picture at the very top is from the Founders Bible and then a picture from the First Baptist Church in Glenwood, New Mexico where I preached this past Sunday. I love preaching in rural New Mexico for the 4th of July weekend, as the services always show a deep love and appreciation for our country! We are living in a time in America where a lot of our true history is not taught.
The following us from Lifeway Research and CHURCHLEADERS:
For each of the possible worship service changes, pastors 65 and older and those in the South are among the most likely to say their churches make that change.
Pastors at larger churches, those with attendance of 250 or more, are among the most likely to say their worship services the week of July 4th include recognizing those with family currently serving in the armed forces (68%), living veterans (66%) and families who have lost loved ones in service to our country (63%). Meanwhile, smaller church pastors, those with fewer than 50 in attendance (60%) and those with 50 to 99 (61%), are among the most likely to say their worship service changes include special music honoring America.
