National Monument to the Forefathers
Lakeland Community College (map)
You know all about our great National Monuments, right? The Washington Monument, The Lincoln Memorial, The National Monument to the Forefathers.
What?
You don't know about The National Monument to the Foregathers? (OK, maybe it's not really not a federal "National Monument" as understood today from the Antiquities Act of 1906, but it is on the National Register of Historic Places.)
New member Chrissy Sparrow will be telling us all about this little know monument located in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Chrissy will be showing segments from a video called KEEPING FAITH: The National Monument to the Forefathers, A Guided Tour of one of America's National Treasures. The tour is given by Dr. Paul Jehle, Executive Director of the Plymouth Rock Foundation. (Dr Jehle is also the Pastor at The New Testament Church in Plymouth, MA. He delivered the opening prayer at the 8-28 Restoring Honor Rally in Washingon, DC.) The video will provide historical background and meaning of the monument, including: Faith, Morality, Law, Education and Liberty.
Chrissy will also tell us about an upcoming movie/documentary by Kirk Cameron about The National Monument to the Forefathers, called Monumental: In Search of America's National Treasure.
She will wrap up with information about a short children's book called Molly's Promise to Faith by Mary Cushing, which is a story about finding "Faith" and restoring her to her rightful home which is on top of the monument.
But that's not all...
Following Chrissy's presentation, we will also offer time to local, state or federal candidates who will be appearing on the ballot in the March Primary to address our members.
Don't miss this meeting. You will learn about a great piece of American history and get to talk with local candidates!

Mike CahillDirectorVery interesting. I feel cheated. I took my family to Plymouth several years ago and didn't see this monument because I had never heard of it. It is important to remember our heritage.

Gene HodgsonI learned a great deal about this monument. The theme and message of Chrissy,s talk was right on point. We definitely need a spiritual awakening to turn our nation around. I was impressed with her enthusiasm and energy for this project. She is deserving of the Group's support. Thanks to the Board for an informative evening and for your continued diligence and hard work for the good of the group. Here's to continued programs like this.
