Leann and Melissa engage in a discussion about God’s hand in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the purpose of government, and how to be mindful of the rights we have and ways to protect them.
Ponder Questions:
Am I taking my freedom for granted?
Do I know about the America 250 celebration?
Do I have plans to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States?
Do I understand the role of government?
Am I teaching these things to my children?
Have we forgotten what the United States was founded on?
Am I following the laws of the land?
Am I informed about candidates and issues to vote on them?
Have I prayed about who to vote for?
Am I speaking up?
How can we keep our freedoms?
Invitation:
Listen to and read the information provided by the Church.
Answer the questions.
Pray to know what you can do.
