Something to think about over the holiday weekend (the resolution calling for independence was approved on July 2, 1776):
Lord God Almighty, in Whose name the founders of this country won liberty for themselves and for us, and lit the torch of freedom for nations yet unborn: Grant that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain our liberties in righteousness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord who reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
(The Book of Common Prayer, p. 242, in the public domain)
Join us on Sunday for worship!
