4 National Prayer Please pray this on May 5, 2016 at Noon Dear Heavenly Father, We come to You today as a humble people desperate for Your supernatural intervention on behalf of our beloved nation. First, we thank You for all the blessings You have bestowed on our land, blessings that have allowed us to bring so much good and benefit to not only our own citizens but also to the rest of the world. The very ideals upon which this country was founded were based on Biblical truths, no matter how some try to rewrite history to deny that very fact today. This is why our hearts are so broken over how You continue to be marginalized and dismissed by both our people and our institutions. We are also saddened by the fact that Your people have contributed greatly to the spiritual apathy that now engulfs us. Our satisfaction in remaining religious without being fully committed to living out the truths of Your Word has caused us to become co-conspirators with the forces of evil that are destroying us as a society. It is for this reason that we personally and collectively repent of our carnality and recommit ourselves to becoming visible and verbal disciples of Jesus Christ. Enable us, by Your Spirit, to no longer be secret agent Christians but rather to publicly declare and live out Your truth in a spirit of love so that You feel welcome in our country once again. You are Invited to Join Primetimers 55+ for Time & Tides Tales of Annapolis & the Chesapeake Bay $60.00 per person ADULTS ONLY Due by May 1 st Includes Tour & Transportation Pack a Lunch Friday, May 20 th A live interpreter shares your connection with the waters of Annapolis, the crown jewel of the Bay, through rich and diverse legends and lore. Hear tales of smuggling, rum running, and piracy and the legend of Chessie, the Chesapeake Sea Monster. Also included will be a short history of Kent Island including info on its original North American inhabitants, the Thomas Point Lighthouse on the National Registry of Historic Places, and the iconic Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Cruise runs from 11:15 AM 2:15 PM. Thank You for Your promise to hear our prayers when we call to You today, Father. On behalf of Your church, we affirm afresh the priority You are to us that You would fill every dimension of our lives as we seek to bring You glory through the advancement of Your kingdom in our personal lives, our family lives, and in the lives of our churches and our government leaders. We confidently invite heaven s intervention into all the affairs of our nation, and we praise You in advance for Your answer. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Learn how to unpack the truths of God s Word and make the Bible come alive! This Bible study method is designed to enhance your personal Bible study. Paul's Epistle to the Romans Teacher: Pastor Ron David Room: 152B (Christian Ed Building) This will be the second quarter of a review of the book of Romans. This book is packed full of great theology and instruction on godly living. Join us as we study this incredible book! Gospel of John Teacher: Russ Jeandell Room: 001B (Basement) Much of secular culture denies the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Many Christians are unable to explain who Jesus Christ is, and why he left heaven and became one of us. Join us while we unwrap the Gospel of John as he reveals the person and mission of Jesus and our lives are changed. Connections Class Teacher: John Desiderio Room: 001A (Basement) The purpose is to study God's word and create opportunities for fellowship and connecting to the body of Christ. This class is open to everyone from new comers to members, and everyone in between. We will be studying the Characteristics of a Godly Life Cults Teacher - Jim Hart Room: 152A (Christian Ed Building) God said, "There shall be no other gods before me." Why does it seem that there are so many variations of the one and true God? The Mormons believe they are right, the Jehovah Witnesses believe they have the answer also. Who is right? Come and discover what happens when man decides to be god, and learn how to answer people with these heretical beliefs.
