Coolidge Baptist presents patriotic musical
At 11 a.m., Sunday, Sept. 10, the Coolidge Baptist Church choir will present the patriotic musical, “In God We Trust.”
“This musical was written to celebrate our country’s heritage and freedom and to honor our local law enforcement, fire fighters, emergency rescue personnel, both current and past, as well as our military personnel and veterans,” Coolidge Baptist Minister of Music William Majors said. “We are inviting anyone, everyone, working with law enforcement or emergency services, and anyone in military service to join us Sunday morning. Through our music we want to recognize these folks and their sacrifices.”
