Veggie dogs and potato salad. Apple pie and baseball. Red, white, and blue EVERYWHERE. Fireworks lighting up the night sky. We celebrate our Independence on Monday, and for many people these are some of the essential symbols that help us remember that special day when we declared our independence from England more than 2 centuries ago. Today, however, we celebrate another monumental event from more than 2 millennia ago: what Jesus did to set us free from sin. As we gather to partake communion, we hope you’ll reflect on some of the essential symbols of God’s promises.
