Chorus – Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is Your name! Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is Your Name.

We praise God and thank Him for our children who are today praising God and thanking Him for our freedom in the USA –

Rush Burnes (Reader), Will Burnes (holding the Bible of his great-great-great grandfather, Charles W. Rush), Danae Howard, Alex Liddle, Landon Liddle (holding a copy

of the United States Constitution on a plaque crafted by his great grandfather, Jack Gaines), Jordan Poe, Colby Reece, Chyanne Reece, Cyndal Reece, Hunter Robbins,

and Katie Robbins (holding the Cross of Jesus Christ, who died that we might all have true freedom in Him)

Thanks to Tommy Armstrong, Narrator, and our choir who have worked so diligently to praise God in song this morning as we remember our blessings as Americans.

time commitment to Christ or about the transfer of your membership to Rush Chapel United Methodist Church. If God is leading you, please come forward as we sing the Hymn of
