President Obama: Don’t Deny America’s
Christian HeritageThere’s a powerful push underway to rewrite this nation’s history ... to strip America of its religious past — to deny our country’s Judeo-Christian heritage. Even President Obama recently said, “We do not consider ourselves a Christian nation....”
Now, concerned Members of the Congressional Prayer Caucus have stepped forward and introduced the “America’s Spiritual Heritage Resolution” (H.R. 397). It’s dedicated to recognizing “the rich spiritual and religious history of our nation’s founding.”
The American Center for Law and Justice is strongly backing this Congressional resolution, and we need your generous support to help protect our nation’s rich religious history and continue all of our legal and legislative work across the country. Give generously and help the ACLJ send a powerful message to Washington: Don’t rewrite our nation’s history! |

Rep Forbes (R) - Virginia Comment
Rep. Forbes Featured in U.S. News & World Report
An editorial by Congressman Forbes was featured in the U.S. News & World Report on May 7, 2009. An excerpt from the editorial follows:
On April 6, 2009, President Obama, speaking halfway across the world in Turkey, effectively made a shocking proclamation: that the United States did not consider itself a Judeo-Christian nation.
"Although, as I mentioned, we have a very large Christian population, we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation," he said. I do not challenge his right to make that statement, nor do I doubt that he believes it to be true. But there were two critical questions that he failed to ask and answer. First, did America ever consider itself a Judeo-Christian nation? Secondly, if it did, what was the moment or event in which it ceased to do so?
Our nation's history provides overwhelming evidence that America was birthed upon Judeo-Christian principles. The first act of America's first Congress in 1774 was to ask a minister to open with prayer and to lead Congress in the reading of four chapters of the Bible. In 1776, in approving the Declaration of Independence, our founders acknowledged that all men "are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights..." and noted that they were relying "on the protection of Divine Providence" in the founding of this country. John Quincy Adams said, "The Declaration of Independence laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity." Also, the signers of the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War, insisted the treaty begin with the phrase, "In the name of the most holy and undivided Trinity." |

Please mark your calendar to hold this date open and we will be providing further details at a later date. Jackson has been a wonderful blessing to our church and we extend them our best wishes.
We wish to thank the campers for the wonderful work they did in our kitchen area and Fellowship Hall. We will miss them, but know their wonderful work and testimony is much needed at other locations. We wish them well and will continue to pray for their ministry.
In Christ,

Exciting studies traveling through the Book of Daniel to in depth study in Colossians and Ecclesiastes all focusing on Jesus Christ and what He can do through believers as well as what believers can do and face with Him as part of their lives. God's Word unlocks the mysteries and truths about living in a world that offers challenges at every turn. A relationship with Jesus Christ is the beginning to understanding and seeing these events for what they are but also how to "Face Your Giants" with Him by your side. Come and unpack what God's Word has to say with us and arm yourself to face life's challenges.
