On 5 July 1908 in Fairmont West Virginia the first modern Father's Day Celebration was held. It was first celebrated as a church service at Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South. Grace Golden Clayton is believed to have suggested the service to the Pastor. Americans this year are expected to spend over $11 billion on gifts for Father's Day. I would hope that we take a few minutes out of our busy schedules this day and remember our father's, forefathers or even that Heavenly Father above who has given us everything, even life itself. We all have a father who let us borrow the car, or gave us $5 bucks we needed, or even took us fishing. Spend a little time of appreciation and let them know how much they are needed.
