Happy Independence Day!

As we approach the Fourth of July, we reflect with gratitude on the freedoms we treasure as citizens of this great nation—freedom to worship, to speak, to live in peace. But even greater is the spiritual freedom we have through Jesus Christ, who frees us from sin and death. Scripture reminds us, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36). As you enjoy the parades, fireworks, and family gatherings, may your heart be filled with thankfulness—not only for our country, but for the Savior who offers true and lasting freedom. Happy Independence Day from all of us at WBNH!

It’s a fun, free event for all ages, and a wonderful way to connect with the WBNH family. Vroom vroom...see you there!
