Dear Lord,There is no greater feeling of liberation than to experience this freedom from sin and death that you have provided for me through Jesus Christ. Today my heart and my soul are free to praise you. For this I am very thankful. On this Independence Day I am reminded of all those who have sacrificed for my freedom, following the example of your Son, Jesus Christ. Let me not take my freedom, both physical and spiritual, for granted. May I always remember that my freedom was purchases with a very high price. My freedom cost others their very lives. Lord, today, bless those who have served and continue to give their lives for my freedom. With favor and bounty meet their needs and watch over their families. Help me to live my life in a way that glorifies you, Lord. Give me the strength to be a blessing in someone else’s life today, and grant me the opportunity to lead others into the freedom that can be found in knowing Christ.
Amen.

YouTube has been blocked on the BYU campus since early fall semester 2006 because school administrators felt there was too much questionable content. But they reconsidered in part because of professors who want access to it in classrooms. The site was made available Friday morning at the same time the school launched its own Web site — besafe.byu.edu — intended to tell students how to filter themselves by invoking the Honor Code: Live A Chaste And Virtuous Life. Yeah right:
Provo Community Church is happy to announce their featured artist for the month of July. Susan Schroer calls herself “a Nature lover”:
It so greatly inspires me. I often find myself wondering, “Is there anyone not awed by the power and beauty of nature?” I’m serious about this question; I know nature inspires me, but does it inspire everyone? It takes a whole menagerie of folks to make the world go round, so what’s are you inspired by? I want to know.
See her inspiring art as part of the downtown Provo Gallery Stroll on July 3, 6-9 pm, Provo Community Church.

Orem Community Church would like to give our heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of patrons who donated money to park in our OCC parking lot during Orem Summerfest activities. This fundraising effort was a huge success for OCC, even with the torrential rains and wind! The fireworks show was a glorious ending to a great 2-day event!

Orem will be busy this weekend, June 12-13, sponsoring it’s annual Summerfest festival. Orem Community Church (OCC) will be accepting donations from the public to park their car in the OCC lot. Since OCC is right across the street from where all the Summerfest action will be, you really can’t find a better place to park!
A new addition to our OCC parking lot (just in time for Summerfest) is a drive-up prayer box which we encourage all who pass by to stop and jot down your prayer request(s). The prayer box is located on the planter at the front of the lot, where the OCC sign is. We will meet in our Sanctuary each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. to pray for all who have added a prayer request. Our Sunday Worship Services begin at 10 a.m. Blessings to all!
