Celebration of Freedom 2008

Celebrate Our Heritage

Directed by Pastor of Worship Ministries, George Skramstad, this patriotic salute features the 175-member Voices of Crossings, the Festival Orchestra, drama, spectacular multimedia, soloists, Kid’s Praise choir, and audience participation.

Military personnel – both active duty and retired - and their families, are invited to sit in reserved sections marked by each branch of the service. These sections are located on the main level in the front of the Sanctuary.

Past attendee, Ben T. Robinson, USAF, Brig Gen (Retired), believes,

"This is the kind of event you would expect to attend in Washington DC. It is world-class. It allows former service members, those serving today, and members of our Oklahoma City community to celebrate together something that is near and dear to all of us...our freedom as a nation. Crossings Community Church is a fitting place to celebrate such an event as all veterans know that the oath we take to defend our freedom through defense of our Constitution ends with a short four word prayer...’so help me God.’ Anyone attending this celebration will leave proud of what our nation stands for, proud of the dedication and sacrifice of our military and with a renewed faith that God is watching over us."

“The Celebration of Freedom makes me feel humble and honored to have been a part of the efforts to protect and maintain our rights to freedom.”
