Celebrating Liberty Amendments Month with the Town of Vienna

Emmanuel Lutheran Church, in partnership with the Town of Vienna, will participate in celebrating Liberty Amendments Month from June 19 – July 19.

Passage of the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 19th Amendments, which now are enshrined in our United States Constitution, grants rights to people who previously were excluded from full participation. The 4th of July celebrates the birth of our nation while Liberty Amendments Month celebrates these four amendments to our Constitution that, together, provide a common opportunity for all to help shape our nation and benefit our diverse heritage. Together, we are amazing!

The Town of Vienna is hosting many events throughout the month which can be seen here.
