This Fourth of July, the men and staff at House 3 came together in fellowship and gratitude to honor our nation’s 250th year of independence. The celebration began with a moment of silence then a prayer by Lieutenant Jackson. Lieutenant Earwood, who opened a thoughtful dialogue commemorating the meaning of the day — reminding everyone how blessed we are to live in a country where freedom is both a gift and a responsibility.

Following his words, Lieutenant Carter led a moving, scripture-filled dedication that brought faith and reflection to the forefront, reminding all that true liberty begins in the heart.

Afterward, the Kitchen staff served a generous meal prepared with care and love — a feast that reflected the ministry’s spirit of service and community.

It was a day of remembrance, gratitude, and unity — a celebration not only of our nation’s history but of the fellowship that continues to strengthen us all.
