Celebrating the Fourth of July, God & Country Day is saluting the United States military at Boynton Baptist Church July 4 beginning at 11 a.m. with a patriotic cantata.
Participants are asked to display patriotism by wearing red, white and blue.
“Fourth of July does not occur on Sunday a lot,” said associate pastor Marty Green, of Boynton Baptist Church. “It’s every seven years that the Fourth of July falls on a Sunday, so our choir has been working on a patriotic musical titled ‘Welcome Home.'”
Boynton Baptist Church choir will sing “This Land is your Land,” “God Bless the USA,” “Armed Forces Medley,” “Taps,” “If my People” and “Welcome Home.” Soloist Richmond Blackwell will sing “This is my Country Finale” in gratitude to the soldiers.
Green said Ringgold High School Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps will fold the American flag as patriotic tunes ring out. Boynton Baptist will display flags representing the Navy, Air Force, Army, Marines and the Coast Guard.
