There are few holidays more American than the Fourth of July, and the 244 years of American Independence we have enjoyed were conceived by a revolution ignited by patriots. It was eleven long years after Thomas Jefferson penned the Declaration of Independence in 1776 before the Continental Congress ratified the United States Constitution, which has created stable and robust governing structures that continue to preserve our freedom and our American way of life.
As we celebrate this Fourth of July, let us remind ourselves how blessed we are to be Americans with the constitutionally protected right to go to a church and a school where we are free to worship and practice our Christian faith, pursue happiness, seek economic prosperity, and enjoy the fullness of this earthly life He has given us. On behalf of the faculty and staff at Prince, we hope you enjoy this American holiday and celebrate your love for our country by attending a parade, watching fireworks, or sharing a meal with family and friends. Happy Independence Day, Prince families!
