July 4

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Some follow up for Sunday’s message:

-Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill battles were all fought in 1775, so the Revolutionary War actually extends farther back than 1776, contrary to Nathan’s statement.

-Representative government existed in England well before the American Revolution.  Contrary to Nathan’s statement that “there would be no Parliament if not for July 4th,” Parliament had already existed for years and years.  In fact, one of the major gripes of the revolutionaries was “taxation without representation”– being taxed without a seat in Parliament.  Had there been no July 4, the whole world would not have been ruled by kings in all likelihood.

It’s Math Camp picnic flyer time, almost.  Please pray for the students.
