Please join us for our 28th annual patriotic celebration. The presentation called “LoveLincoln Freedom Fest” will feature songs that celebrate our nation’s birth, honor our servicemen and women, and recognize the true freedom God has given through Jesus Christ.
The event is free, so please bring your entire family and lots of friends to enjoy it with you. This year’s program is somewhat different as it will be held at Howard Auditorium on Louisiana Tech’s Campus, because our Sanctuary is being renovated. The program is on Tuesday, June 24, at 7 p.m. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
“I am always excited to gather with our community to celebrate the freedom that we enjoy in our nation while also declaring the liberty we can experience in Christ,” Temple Baptist Pastor Dr. Reggie Bridges said. “To me, it is emotionally moving to “honor those whom honor is due” as we recognize our veterans, and as we recommit ourselves to live responsibly in our freedom.
“While we had to relocate the program due to our Sanctuary renovation, we believe Howard Auditorium will be a great setting for the celebration. We have actually had such a service there before—years ago! We felt it very important to continue our patriotic program tradition, and that is why we worked on the necessary logistics/changes to make it happen.”
Our community fireworks show will still be held as usual on Thursday, July 3, at dark on Temple’s Campus and is sponsored by generous donors in our community.
