CFEC: SAY WHAT NOW???

Christian Fellowship Evangelistic Church, Inc is a house of worship for congregants, a beacon of hope and support for the community, and a safe haven for community members, the disenfranchised, and members of the congregation.

Message From Pastor Michael Kea

This month, we take a special moment to celebrate and honor the men in our congregation who have embraced the high calling of fatherhood.

Fathers are a foundational blessing to our families and our church. We want to express our deepest gratitude for the men who wake up every day determined to lead, protect, and provide for their loved ones. Thank you for your late nights, your early mornings, and the countless unseen sacrifices you make to ensure your children flourish. Thank you for the scraped knees you’ve bandaged, the gas tanks you’ve filled, the wisdom you’ve imparted, and the steady, unwavering presence you offer in a world that is constantly shifting.

We also want to celebrate the profound impact of spiritual fatherhood. To the mentors, grandfathers, uncles, coaches, and teachers who step into the gap to guide the next generation—your influence is invaluable. You demonstrate that fatherhood is not just about biology, but about a heart willing to nurture and invest in others.

As we look at the men in our church, we are reminded of the ultimate example of fatherhood found in our Heavenly Father. It is a profound responsibility to model His unconditional love, His discipline, His patience, and His boundless grace. To every man striving to reflect Christ to his family: your efforts are seen, your love is felt, and your legacy will echo for generations.

May God bless you with strength, grant you profound wisdom, and fill your hearts with joy as you continue to lead your families.

With deep gratitude and celebration,

Pastor Mike

250

1776 – 2026
America’s Anniversary

July 4, all across the United States, we will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of America. Parades, fireworks, speeches, picnics and cookouts, concerts, sales of merchandise, etc. will be in full swing from the East Coast to the West Coast — the farthest points north and south, major cities, and rural areas will be celebrating the anniversary of the birth of our nation. Patriotic songs will be blaring on radio and television, and live bands will be playing on stages, in concert halls and parks. Despite the numerous problems we have in the United States, surviving 250 years is no easy feat. Here are some little-known facts you may or may not know about the birth of our nation.

Little-Known Facts

The Continental Congress declared independence on July 2, not July 4.

Not one founding father was born in the United States.

Legal independence was not internationally binding until January 1784.

July 4th is simply the date Congress approved the final wording of the written document.

The official signing of the document did not occur on July 4, 1776; it took place on August 2, 1776.

All but eight of the individuals that signed the Declaration of Independence were born in the colonies that would become the United States.

The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783, and U.S. independence wasn’t officially recognized under international law until the U.S. Congress ratified the treaty on January 14, 1784.

American men in 1776 averaged 5 feet 8 inches tall, making them three inches taller than their British counterparts.

Historical evidence suggests the steeple housing the Liberty Bell in 1776 was in poor condition and the bell was practically unusable; therefore, the Liberty Bell probably did not ring on July 8, 1776, for the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence.

Nearly half of the Founding Fathers were slaveholders who profited from the institution of slavery, and America was structured to protect only property-owning white men.

The catalyst for conflict between the Native Americans and the Colonists was the American Colonists’ desire for exclusive individual land ownership versus the Native American tradition of communal land use.
