SPIRITUAL WARFARE!!!"The alarm is sounded:

Calling All Believers to Arm Themselves For War!"

There is a greater war being waged in the world today. It is not a conflict between nations, tribes, or government leaders. Though we can see them at war, it is an invisible battle taking place in the spirit world targeted at destroying the believer. The Bible states that God's people are destroyed because of the lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). One of the main areas in

which believers are being defeated due to the lack of knowledge is in "Spiritual Warfare".

Please bring with you a small folder or binder for teaching material, pencil, highlighter and an open mind that is eager to learn more of what it will take to survive until Jesus returns.

†We are preparing our events calendar for the next calendar year. If you are planning any activities (meetings, special events, etc.) during the 2017 calendar year, you must submit your desired dates and times to Sister Carolyn Stevens no later than 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 9, 2016. Please submit a first and second choice date and time for all activities. Your activity date submission must be approved and signed by your MINISTRY LEADER. Completed request forms may be placed in the Strategic Planning Ministry mailbox located in the Church Office. If you have any questions, please contact Sister Carolyn Stevens on 202-841-5381 or Deacon James Thompson on 301-735-1020. Request forms are located on the table in front of the Trustee’s Office.
