The Price of Freedom

In “What Did He Die For?” Twila Paris reminds us why we

observe Memorial Day — and why we worship Jesus as our
Savior. The first verse tells of a 21-year-old soldier fighting for
America’s freedom during World War II. The second verse
recalls another young man, many centuries prior, sent by his
Father to win eternal freedom from sin for the entire world.

The chorus offers this challenge:

“What did he die for when he died for you and me,
Made the sacrifice so that we could all be free?
I believe we will answer each to heaven
For the way we spend a priceless liberty.
Look inside and ask the question, What did he die for?”

Memorial Day challenges us to live so as to honor the sacrifices made by members of the
military. We value our freedom because of the heavy price people have paid for it. Likewise,
every day we’re challenged to live so as to honor Jesus’ supreme sacrifice. He calls us to spend
our “priceless liberty” using our blessings to bless others.

FUN IN THE SON - FAMILY CARNIVAL

Dear West Lynchburg Baptist Church Family,

Thank you for the out-pouring of prayers, cards, meals, help and a very
gracious gift as Dan battles his cancer. It's the prayers of intercession
that have really gotten us through. Dan still has a long road to remission
but each day is a step closer.
We ask that you continue to pray for God's healing hand to be upon Dan, for His strength and
love to continue to bring us closer to Him and that we be a reflection of His love and unity.
Thank you, Dan and Beth Schmucker

May & June COINS for NOTHING But NETS
Malaria Kills....Malaria is particularly devastating in Africa, where it is a leading killer of
children. In fact, there are 10 new cases of malaria every second. Every 45 seconds, a child in
Africa dies from a malaria infection.
Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets
Although $10 for a bed net may not sound like much, the cost makes them out of reach for most
people at risk of malaria, many of whom survive on less than $1 a day. Nets are a simple, life-
saving solution, but we need your help to provide them to those in need. Join us now.
Send a net and save a life.
Get your container for COINS after church on Sunday.
