The city’s Fourth of July celebration begins this afternoon with an outdoor worship service and citywide prayer. Churches have united to lead public repentance and proclamation of Christ’s Lordship over America.
Families are being encouraged to display both the American flag and the Christian flag in front yards as a statement of faith and freedom.
Community leaders have issued a strong spiritual call to stand guard against complacency, warning that without the fear of the Lord, patriotism quickly becomes empty.

Youth groups are distributing gospel tracts and praying for families gathered downtown, aiming to reach as many as possible with the message of eternal liberty through Christ.

Churches citywide are flying banners that read “Blessed is the Nation Whose God is the Lord” as a visual witness in every neighborhood.
Longview
This morning, hundreds participated in a “March for Truth,” carrying crosses, praying aloud, and reading Scripture from memory through the heart of downtown.
A citywide evening worship event is planned before the fireworks, where pastors will lead communion, declare prophetic words over the nation, and call the unsaved to repentance.
Families are being reminded that true celebration begins at the altar, not in the streets, and the greatest battle for freedom is still spiritual.
Lindale
Farms and churches have joined for a Harvest and Heritage Picnic, giving thanks for this year’s provision and dedicating the land and labor back to God.
Local youth ministries are leading a full-day worship rotation in the city park pavilion, declaring victory over sin, fear, and cultural deception.
The evening will close with a family communion service and prayers for the next generation to rise in boldness and holiness.
Van
Fourth of July cookouts hosted by churches are intentionally gospel-centered, with praise music, testimonies, and family baptisms taking place in backyards and open fields.
Pastors have emphasized that now is the time to commit not just to a nation, but to a kingdom—the unshakable kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Gilmer
Intercessors gathered at dawn for a solemn assembly asking God to cleanse the land, expose corruption, and pour out revival fire.
A "Freedom in Christ" concert will headline tonight’s celebration, with altar calls and healing ministry available before the fireworks.
Children and youth are leading public scripture readings, declaring God’s promises over their city and their future.
Henderson
Churches in Henderson are joining to ring bells at 6:00 PM across the city to symbolize liberty through the cross of Christ.
School-related intercession continues even on the holiday, with groups of parents laying hands on school buildings and asking for a cleansing of the education system.
Evening services will include a message titled, “America at the Crossroads,” preaching both warning and hope from a biblical lens.
Quitman
Faith leaders are hosting an old-fashioned tent revival at the edge of town, with planned baptisms, worship, and preaching throughout the night.
Community choirs will sing hymns of deliverance and victory, and leaders are believing for a powerful move of the Holy Spirit to follow the fireworks celebration.
Edgewood
Revival leaders from last weekend’s service will host a special Independence Day worship hour this evening. Youth will lead much of the program with music, testimonies, and urgent appeals for salvation.
Churches are distributing family devotional guides called “Freedom Under God” to help households reclaim the biblical foundations of American liberty.
Bullard
Peach festival activities today include a “Freedom & Faith” walk led by local churches. Booths are offering Bibles, prayer, and free cold drinks, while local worship bands take the stage throughout the day.
At sundown, a massive open-air worship session is planned, with families encouraged to bring blankets, communion elements, and an expectant heart for revival.
Closing Summary
As fireworks prepare to light the East Texas sky, the spiritual cry of the region resounds louder: “Return to Me,” says the Lord. Across cities and countryside, the remnant is rising—fasting, praying, worshiping, and witnessing. Today, East Texas isn’t just celebrating freedom—it’s contending for it. May this Independence Day mark not just a remembrance of liberty, but a rebirth of righteousness.
