"I testify to you that God's hand has been in our destiny. I testify that freedom as we know it today is being threatened as never before in our history. I further witness that this land—the Americas—must be protected, its Constitution upheld, for this is a land foreordained to be the Zion of our God. He expects us as members of the Church and bearers of His priesthood to do all we can to preserve our liberty."-Pres. Ezra Taft Benson, 1979
Happy 4th of July weekend to all! Just a reminder that our ward is having a 4th of July party at the Dunn's home on Saturday. The fun begins at 5 PM and the food (aka the real fun) :) begins at 6 PM. Everyone is sure to have a great time! If you have a folding table and chairs, please bring those with you. And don't forget some food to share with everyone as it is a potluck dinner. Hope to see you there!
If you're looking for other things to do throughout the day, our city's festivities include a 4th of July Grande Parade that starts at 10 AM. The parade will travel down Friendswood Dr (FM 518) and conclude at Stevenson Park where there will be games, rides, food, live entertainment, and fun. The evening program begins at 7:30 PM at Centennial Park. Click HERE for more information.
But regardless of how you're spending your day, please take a moment to remember the sacrifice of those who have served and those who continue to serve our country-- especially those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we may enjoy the freedoms we have today. Truly, Freedom Isn't Free.
Happy Independence Day!
