Memorial Day is always an emotional day for me.

As a U.S. Navy chaplain serving with Marines, I saw the cost of freedom in ways I will never forget. Not long after arriving in Afghanistan, within just a few hours, I was called to pray over a Marine killed in action — Lance Corporal Thomas E. Rivers Jr., a young man from Birmingham, Alabama. He was the same age as my son at the time. That moment marked me deeply.

Sadly, it would not be the last. In Afghanistan, I eventually lost count of how many times I stood in those sacred, heartbreaking moments. I had known that same grief in Fallujah, Iraq as well.

So when I see a video like this, I do not simply think about history or ceremony. I think about faces. Names. Families. Young men and women who gave everything. I think about the mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, children, and friends who still carry an empty place at the table.

I am proud to have served. I am proud of our country. And I am deeply grateful for those who stood in the gap against evil and gave their lives in defense of freedom.

In a world where patriotism is sometimes dismissed, questioned, or even eroded, I believe we must remember that freedom is never automatic. There are evil forces in this world with malicious intentions, and if good people do not stand against them, they will prevail.

This Memorial Day, I remember. I grieve. I give thanks.

And I pray we never forget the price that has been paid.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

Welcome to: THE YARD

🌟Youth
🌟Area for
🌟Recreation &
🌟Discipleship

We have big dreams for our children’s department both inside & outside! We wanted a safe and fun space for our kids to be able to play outside and each day that passes we are closer and closer to reaching that goal.

The fence has already been completed, and we can’t wait to see this space continue to come together for all kids of FBC Coldwater.

Our prayer is that this area will be a safe, fun, and welcoming place where children can laugh, play, build friendships, and make wonderful memories together.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make this project possible so far — we’re excited for what’s ahead!

This Sunday, we begin a brand-new series:

Homes That Honor God

Home can be a beautiful word.
It can also be a complicated one.

Some homes are strong.
Some are struggling.
Some are full of joy.
Some are carrying grief, strain, regret, or questions.

That is why this series matters.

We are going to open God’s Word and look at His heart for the home—not with unrealistic pictures or shallow answers, but with truth, grace, hope, and the gospel.

Because God still does some of His best work with imperfect people and imperfect homes.

Join us this Sunday as we begin with: “God’s Heart for the Home”

10:45 AM
First Baptist Church Coldwater- Your Community Church

Come be part of it. Bring someone with you.
