Behind the Shield: Safety First in Our Communities
Rev. Samuel Feemster
Our country has seen far too much violence; some of which came at the hands of those who are charged with community safety. Law enforcement
has come to be seen as an activity that defends the law. A better perspective
of the work of police and first responders is to provide safety, which is a
function of community health and wellness. Come explore how you and
your community can build relationships that provide pathways to peace.
Protecting Christians from the Fiery Darts
Panel: Dr. Saw Ler Htoo, Dr. Duh Kam, Rev. Emmanuel Mutangana,
Rev. Rollin Van Bik, and moderator, Rev. Dr. Robert Cochran
Come and hear the experience of those God has led through the challenges of
persecution and discover how you can support those facing such trials. Lis-
ten to the testimonies of those who have been persecuted and learn how it has
changed their lives and walk with Christ.

Shoes Required: Walking out the Gospel of Peace
Rev. Starlette McNeill
Today, the concern is not just over what we say but where we step and how we
enter. The Body of Christ’s feet are being closely watched and
scrutinized. What’s the Church’s position on this? Where do you stand? In
this session, participants will explain, evaluate and explore the gospel of peace
for practical application. All shoe sizes are welcome.

“Everyone knows that Washington, D. C. is a city of secrets. There are secrets
in the White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court. There are secret
files in the Pentagon, the FBI, CIA, NSA, and a veritable alphabet soup of
federal agencies. Yet, the greatest secrets in the nation’s capital are not
locked in a vault or under 24-hour guard. Washington’s greatest secrets are
hidden in plain sight. They are the secrets of Ancient Egypt and of its influ-
ence on the development of the United States and its capital city.”
“America’s founding fathers were profoundly influenced by the Ancient
Egyptians. Egypt is on the Potomac, but you will never know it if you do not
know what to look for.”
It is hoped that these words by Egyptologist Anthony Browder will entice
you to join us at the 138th Annual Gathering and hear just how he will
decode for us the symbolism in D.C. found in the buildings and their
surroundings. You will be fascinated to learn the role that the 16th Street
corridor plays in our connection to Egypt.
Scripture tells us that we perish because of a lack of knowledge, and that we
are to arm ourselves by putting on the full armor of God in order to fight
against the devil. As we stand with the Belt of Truth, we will come to
understand the origin and significance of many familiar D.C. places and sites
and understand the Egyptian influence.
Join the Older Adult Ministries and be transported back in time as the hidden
secrets of Washington, D. C. and its relationship to Ancient Egypt are
revealed at our Annual Gathering 2015.
