Dear Trinity, 


As we wrapped up a wonderful Vacation Bible School session, I want to give a special thank you to every person who was a part of this process. Thank you to those who were generous with the donations given, to the volunteers who worked so hard (this includes some of our youth group!), and to Mrs. Fields for creating this adventure for everyone. 

We are incredibly blessed with a wonderful group of kiddos, and this ministry is a gift to the island community, and I hope that you all know that! 


As we approach a new Sunday, we also mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of this nation. As we celebrate with our respective parties and events, I also want to impart this prayer from the Book of Common Prayer. I ask you to pray with me this week as we remember the founding and beseech God's guidance in our lives, using our freedom and liberties to share Good News with everyone. 


A Collect for Independence Day:


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 then 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 lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


Yours in Christ,

Chase Bradley
