Dear Jesus, please bless America and keep our homes safe. Thank you that we are free to go to school, play with our friends, and talk about you. Thank you for loving everyone, everywhere! Amen
God Bless America Words by Irving Berlin
God Bless America, Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

FOURTH DAY OF JULY by Jean Warren
(sing to the tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”)
Today is special, do you know why?
It’s the 4th day of July.
See the flags passing by.
See the fireworks in the sky.
It’s a special celebration.
It’s the birthday of our nation.

Something strange and wonderful happened when a man named Jairus (Ja-eye-rus) came to Jesus one day. He was the leader of a Jewish synagogue or “church” in his own town.
Jairus fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come to his house, for his only child was dying. She was a young girl, only 12 years old. As Jesus went with him, people crowded around him to see and hear him.
While they were on the way, a messenger came from the house of Jairus who said, “It is too late. Your daughter is dead. Do not let the Master go to any more trouble.”
But when Jesus heard this, he told Jairus, “Do not be afraid. Just believe, and she will be made well…

When evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.”
Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

I Am Jesus’ Little Lamb
by Henrietta L. von Hayn, 1724-1782
I am Jesus’ little lamb,
Ever glad at heart I am;
For my Shepherd gently guides me,
Knows my need, and well provides me,
Loves me every day the same,
Even calls me by my name.
Day by day, at home, away,
Jesus is my Staff and Stay.
When I hunger, Jesus feeds me,
Into pleasant pastures leads me;
When I thirst, He bids me go
Where the quiet waters flow.
Who so happy as I am,
Even now the Shepherd’s lamb?
And when my short life is ended,
By His angel host attended,
He shall fold me to His breast,
There within His arms to rest.
