You are invited to TCPC’s Men’s Breakfast on Saturday, Sept 20 - 9am at the church. We welcome all – men, women, youth – please RSVP at this link!

Our speaker is Stephen Wilson, Executive Director at the St. John’s Church Foundation, an organization established in 1938 whose mission is to spark a global appreciation for understanding the role that Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death!” speech had in setting America on its path to liberty for all, and to ignite the public’s interest in preserving the historic site where it happened.

It has been a busy year for Mr. Wilson, as 2025 is the 250th anniversary of the infamous "Give me liberty ... or give me death!" speech. All of America will celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary next year, in remembrance of July 4th 1976. From the St. John's Church Foundation web site:

"As tensions grew between the colonies and Great Britain in the 1770s, Virginia held a series of meetings to organize its protests against the mother country. In march 1775, the Second Virginia Convention was held here (in Richmond) at what was then called Henrico Parish Church. Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Peyton Randolph and other prominent Virginians were delegates to the convention. Here, Patrick Henry embodied the spirit of the Revolution on March 23, 1775, with his words, "Give me liberty ... or give me death!" "...swayed by Patrick Henry’s powerful argument - the delegates made a decision that changed the course of history, lighting the spark of the War for Independence.”
