What a great week it has been at Walter Hill.  A special Thank You to everyone involved in putting VBS together, from all those who had a part in the planning, kick off dinner on Sunday, leading singing, skits, Bible class teachers, decorators to the Ice Cream supper on Wednesday evening.  Everyone’s efforts made this a successful VBS for Walter Hill.  We are grateful to everyone who was able to attend and support the hard work that went into making this a great week.  Our Auditorium speakers did a fantastic job with their presentations each evening.  A special Thank You to Chris for his leadership in directing VBS.  Our prayer is that the congregation has been strengthened and the young people that attended will have learned valuable lessons about God not giving us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind from 2 Timothy 1:7.

Today is June 14^th.  Many of you may have noticed on your calendar that this is Flag Day.  This seems to be a holiday we often overlook or do not give a lot of consideration.  We often think of Betsy Ross when we think about the flag, but there are a lot of interesting facts about the flag and its purpose throughout history.  Flag Day is a holiday in the United States that celebrates the adoption of our national flag.  It is a day to honor the principles of freedom, unity and patriotism.  The stars on the flag represent the fifty states and the stripes recognize the original thirteen colonies.  The colors also have meaning, Red symbolizes hardiness and valor, White symbolizes purity and innocence and Blue represents vigilance, perseverance and justice.

The origin of Flag Day can be traced back to the late 19^th century.  After the adoption of the flag in 1777 it took a long time before an official observance of Flag Day began.  On August 3, 1949, National Flag Day was officially recognized by an Act of Congress signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.  This legislation established Flag Day as a national observance to encourage all citizens to display the flag and recognize what it represents.  It is a day to honor the history and significance of the American flag as a symbol of freedom. 

As great as the freedom our Flag represents, we have a greater freedom in Christ.  Jesus went to the cross to give us the greatest freedom known to man – freedom from Sin so that we can live with Him eternally.  I encourage you to read passages such as John 8:31-36 and Romans 6 through 8 and reflect on the freedom God has given us through His Son and the sacrifice on the Cross.

2 Timothy 1:7 ^“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”.

Trampas McCracken had eye surgery on Wednesday, June 17.  The initial results were good, but it will take several weeks to determine if this procedure is the last one for a while.  (June 19)

Josh Cooper saw the oncologist on Tuesday, June 23.  He learned that the size of what was left through the lymph system was much larger than he expected.  His options are surgery, chemo, or nothing.  He wants to take some time to process this before making a decision.  (June 24)
