Worship at the National Cathedral on July 4th Weekend

We arrived in the underground parking of the National Cathedral, an Episcopal Church, in time for the 11:15 a.m. worship service on this Fourth of July weekend, Sunday July 6. Impressive organ music before, during and after the worship. We were seated fairly close to the front, but off to the right (facing the altar). It took over 80 years to complete the construction of this church. The carolon (sp?) afterwards was also impressive.

Topic of the message: Jesus' Sermon on the Mount - "love your enemies"






Multiple stained glass windows vaulted high in the edifice.

A view from the rear of the church. Many of you may have viewed on television this church during the funerals of presidents, most recently, President Ford.


We thank the LORD, who has provided us a country in which we enjoy the freedoms that include the freedom to worship our gracious God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These freedoms have been purchased with the blood of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our liberties - our next stop - Arlington Cemetary!
