Each year there is a short and sweet July 4th parade in downtown Fredericksburg early in the morning on July 4th. For the past two years we have gathered early before the parade to hand out free 4" X 6" American flags to people on the parade route. Everybody wants a flag at a parade right! This is an easy and fun event and the people who give away the flags really enjoy sharing God's love in a practical way.
All you have to do is search the Internet enough ahead of time to find the best price on flags. Once your flags come in put a label on them. We used regular address labels that we stick on the stick of the flag that say, "God Bless America- from your Friends at New Season Church www.NewSeasonUMC.org." We then put a bunch of flags in plastic grocery bags, meet at a central location and hand out the flags.
