Independence Day For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Galatians 5:13 "The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more."  John Adams NORTH WISCONSIN DISTRICT OF THE LUTHERAN CHURCH MISSOURI SYNOD ©2014 | 3103 Seymour Lane, Wausau, WI 54401 | 715-845-8241
