American Revolution Series begins May 24, 11:15 am
Thirteen American colonies unite in rebellion, win an eight-year war to secure their independence, and establish a new form of government that would inspire democratic movements at home and around the globe. What begins as a political clash between colonists and the British government grows into a bloody struggle that will engage more than two dozen nations and forever change the world.
The American Revolution is a six-part, 12-hour documentary series that explores the country’s founding struggle and its eight-year War for Independence. The film is directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt and written by Geoffrey Ward. To learn more about the film and watch, visit pbs.org/americanrevolution.
Then, join Larry Deaton and Norm Wulf for a 6-week series discussing why it happened, how were we taught, and why is it important that we are talking about this in church? This series will begin on May 24 following the 10am worship service. Childcare and kids’ activities will be provided.
