Recognizing our Heros

Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.

1 Peter 2:16

With in the next couple of weeks we will be celebrating the Fourth of July holiday, with fireworks, bar-b-que and family. Jennings United Methodist Church family has many heros buried in the cemetery, these individuals who stood up for us so we can enjoy the freedoms outlined in the Declaration of Independence. “…all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—“
