Special Guest Speaker 

Marcie Cleaver

Pledge of Allegiance:

I Pledge Allegiance
To The Flag
Of The United States Of America
And To The Republic
For Which It Stands
One Nation
Under God,
Indivisible,
With Liberty
And Justice
For All.

America:

My country 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the Pilgrim's pride, From every mountain side Let freedom ring. My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills, My heart with rapture fills Like that above.	Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song; Let all that breathe partake; Let mortal tongues awake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. Our fathers' God to Thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light, Protect us by Thy might Great God, our King!

Our Prayer; Our Pledge; Our Song:

Where Lions meet be present Lord,
And fill our hearts with one accord.
To do thy will, Lord make us strong
To aid the weak and right the wrong.
Amen
