On June 30, 2026, a special day of thanksgiving and worship is planned at the Valley Forge Washington Memorial Chapel<\/a> adjacent to the Valley Forge National Historical Park, PA, one of America\u2019s most hallowed places.<\/p>\n

The event\u00a0will honor America\u2019s 250th anniversary and the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands of patriotic Americans who over the years have given their lives so that others can live in freedom.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Plans for the event include live streaming and outside screens for viewing (chapel seating is limited to approximately 200 persons).<\/p>\n

The worship service will offer thanks to God for the many blessings He has bestowed on America over the course of the nation\u2019s history to include special thanks for the bravery and patriotism of General Washington\u2019s soldiers who greatly suffered at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-1778.<\/p>\n

Over 2,000 of these soldiers suffered and died while encamped at Valley Forge due to sickness from lack of adequate food, clothing, and shelter.<\/p>\n

The service will seek God\u2019s continued blessings on America and its leaders to include praying that leaders have and use Godly wisdom in making important decisions.<\/p>\n

The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that \u201c\u2014-if my people\u2014-will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and forgive their sin and will heal their land\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Thus, prayers will be offered for the repenting of the nation\u2019s sins and for God, in His mercy, to forgive these sins.<\/p>\n

The Washington Memorial Chapel was built by and for the American people; it has never received any government funding and is truly the people\u2019s chapel. Among other things, the coats of arms of all 50 states are embedded in the chapel\u2019s wooden ceiling.<\/p>\n

The chapel honors not only George Washington but all patriots, civilian and military, who struggled and sacrificed for the freedoms Americans enjoy today.<\/p>\n

It expresses the belief held by the nation\u2019s Founders and summarized by Washington himself in a letter to Pastor John Rogers on 11 June 1783: \u201cGlorious indeed has been our contest\u2026but in the midst of our joys, I hope we shall not forget that to divine providence is to be ascribed the Glory and the Praise.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As an architectural gem on the National Register of Historic Places, Washington Memorial Chapel preserves the sacred memory of the faith and resilience of the men and women who birthed a nation. It has stood since 1903 as a reminder and symbol of the ideals of our great nation.<\/p>\n
