Nora Smith, our Coordinator of Family Ministries shares her insights about the world we live in through the lens of children and youth–and often through poetry

There will be no family ministry zoom this week because Sunday is American Independence day! Other than being a national and federal holiday, it is a day that everyone in America gets a day off of work to celebrate our ancestors fight for freedom from Great Britain in what came to be known as the American Revolutionary war. However American isn’t the only country to celebrate a day of independence. So this weekend I hope you are able to spend time with family and/or friends, eat some delicious summer foods, and make a wish upon the fireworks that one day every nation and every people will have the chance to be free.  

Bang.
