One Nation Under God

Joe — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 13:50:04 +0000

Next Wednesday night (July 21st) we have a treat! We’ll see “One Nation Under God”, hosted by D. James Kennedy. This is an unforgettable journey of discovery to find the truth about America’s founding. Filmed at historic Williamsburg and Yorktown, Virginia, where our liberties were secured. This video features many scholars and presents startling evidence many Americans have never heard about the Christian character of our nation’s origin.

Complete with dramatizations, this remarkable program looks at the people—from Pilgrims through the Founding Fathers—who gave birth to this nation. It profiles what they believed and shows how biblical ideas built America. Don’t miss it!

We’ll have our regular pot-luck dinner at 6pm and then the video at 7pm, followed by Evening Prayer.
