Lipan Annual Homecoming Sunday, June 3rd at 10:45 am Lipan Tabernacle
Many of you may be asking what this annual celebration is all about.
Simple---Honor!
We take this time each year to honor those of our families whose earthly bodies were laid to rest at the Evergreen and Baptist Cemeteries. Many of us have several generations of our families buried at one or both cemeteries. Others may have a few or only one member there, but we still want to honor them by ensuring their final earthly resting places are maintained.
Both cemeteries are managed by committees who voluntarily serve honor their families. Care of these cemeteries is costly and is paid for by contributions and internment fees.
Contributions are accepted year-round but annually we gather to enjoy renewing friendships and visit the cemeteries and to take contributions.
We hope to see you there, but if you can’t come you may mail your contributions to PO Box 222, Lipan 76462.

National Day of Prayer-Lipan Tabernacle, Thursday 12:15 pm

The National Day of Prayer was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. In 1988, the law was unanimously amended by both the House and the Senate and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on Thursday, May 5, 1988, designating the first Thursday of May as a day of national prayer. Every president since 1952 has signed a National Day of Prayer proclamation.

Join us at the Lipan Tabernacle Thursday, May 3 at 12:15-12:45 pm for a time when Lipan can join together in prayer; prayer for our nation, for our leaders, for our county and city.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, World War I ended. This day became known as "Armistice Day." In 1921, an unknown World War I American soldier was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. These memorials took place on November 11th to commemorate the end of the "war to end all wars."

In 1926, Congress resolved to officially call November 11th Armistice Day. Then in 1938, the day was named a national holiday. Soon afterwords war broke out in Europe, and World War II began. In 1954, Congress officially passed and President Dwight Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11 as Veteran's Day.

National ceremonies commemorating Veterans Day occur each year at the memorial amphitheater built around the Tomb of the Unknowns. At 11 AM on November 11, a color guard representing all military services executes “Present Arms” at the tomb. Then the presidential wreath is laid upon the tomb. Finally, the bugler plays taps.

Each Veterans Day should be a time when Americans stop and remember the brave men and women who have risked their lives for the United States of America. As Dwight Eisenhower said:

"...it is well for us to pause, to acknowledge our debt to those who paid so large a share of freedom's price. As we stand here in grateful remembrance of the veterans' contributions we renew our conviction of individual responsibility to live in ways that support the eternal truths upon which our Nation is founded, and from which flows all its strength and all its greatness."
