For Freedom We Have Been Set Free
Rev. Gayle Roberts, Preacher
No matter where we are on the political spectrum, we, as a people, tend to come together to celebrate our independence and freedom on the 4th of July. As we approach our 242nd birthday, we can take time to consider our founding documents and the responsibilities that come with our freedom along with the gathering we’ve planned and, of course, the fireworks and patriotic music.

CHURCH NOTICE:
We have posted signs up around the church a number of times but again we must stress the importance of NOT bringing any peanuts or foods with peanuts in them into the building at all. We have a member of our congregation that has a deathly allergy to peanuts and anything with peanuts in them. When this member discovers there are peanuts in the building, they have to leave immediately. This means that they miss out on our various activities or meetings that they need to be at. The allergy is critical and we DO NOT want to alienate this member or any others who have this allergy. PLEASE, PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! that we cannot allow peanuts into the building. (If you are bringing in a packaged item, please try to check that it wasn’t manufactured in a facility that processes anything with peanuts.)

Keep Families Together and Free
On Saturday June 30th we will join in front of the Cheyenne ICE office to protest the unjust separation of children from their parents at the border! With MTC trying to build a new private immigration prison the possibility of Wyoming becoming a cog in the trump deportation machine is very real. Now is the time to join in solidarity not only for the families suffering at the border but also the families suffering here in Wyoming.
