Rand McNally (the map people) and USA Today are on a road trip to find the most patriotic city in America. Article from USA Today and Rand McNally

Clarksville is one of the finalists! Here's a note from their team that's scouting out the "most patriotic" cities.

" It's Tawny and Chris (aka Captain and Clark) from Rand McNally and USA Today's Road Rally.

We wanted to give you a heads up to our schedule for the next three weeks so that you'll have a rough estimate as to when we'll be arriving in your patriotic towns. We're currently in Williamsburg, Virginia and if the other contestants have anywhere near the enthusiasm that we've experienced so far, we'll burst in air with excitement. It's been a great start to our trip. "

Captain and Clark's Website

They'll be in Clarksville THIS weekend and even more exciting than that !!! They are going to be in our service Sunday morning and are going to video the entire service so they can show everyone how our church is helping make Clarksville the most patriotic city in the USA.

How cool is that?

So….. We need everyone who has ever sung, thought about singing, sings in the shower or with the car radio to sing with us Sunday morning. Call your friends who used to sing in choir and tell them we really need them. The orchestra sounds fantastic and we need to match that with the choir. Don't forget your teenagers and older children can join us too.

Help spread the word. We need you in choir Wednesday night and Sunday morning. The music is easy to learn. We'll use our books so you don't have to memorize anything.

Hope to see you all tomorrow night! (Bring more singers with you!)

What To Wear

I've found some neat ideas of what you all could wear this Sunday morning when we sing Truth Is Marching On.





What do you think?





Here's maybe a better idea.

Wellll, maybe not this exact look...

Let's all wear white shirts/blouses and dark blue or black pants/skirts. Then you can add a red, white and blue tie if you like.

That's My Flag

That's My Flag is the second song in our mini patriotic musical.

We're singing it THIS Sunday, July 6, during our 9:00 service.

So I KNOW you'll want to be in rehearsal tonight!

The music is EASY, so even if you missed last week you can still sing with us.

I'm excited to be able to have the entire choir sing together on a Sunday morning (instead of splitting into two services).

So, I'll be looking for you tonight at 6:30 at the FLC.

Truth Is Marching On

That's the title of the mini-musical we'll present on July 6 during our 9:00 service. Many of our faithful readers are not in choir, so you may not know that the music was supposed to be in last Wednesday. It didn't make it. If choir had been the first thing Thursday morning we would have had the music.

The music is easy enough that we will be able to learn it in just a couple of weeks. Which works out perfectly since July 6 is just a couple of weeks away.

Along those same patriotic thoughts...

We got our flag pole up at the FLC. I had just finished a game of racquetball and was heading to work when I noticed that they were putting the flag up for the very first time. And "Mr. never has his camera when he needs it" HAD his camera!
