“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Joshua 24:15. When Joshua made this statement, he had already led the people to the promised land. The children of Israel were renewing their covenant with God at Shechem. Joshua gathered all the elders, the heads, the judges, and the officers of Israel and recounted the victories that the Lord God had seen them through, from Abraham forward. He challenged them, saying “[C]hoose this day, whom you will serve.”
This is our call to the Men of God. Together we will answer, “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” This is our responsibility as men. The Bible calls us to encourage one another in the Word of God. We need one another. So, join us – for a weekend of EMPOWERMENT!
On June 13th and 14th, we will come together to empower one another to declare boldly Whom we serve. This program will consist of one day of equipping and one day of worship. Saturday will be broken up into two sessions. Session One will begin with breakfast and then empowering words from three speakers: Rev. Tomas Ramirez (Luz y Vida Iglesia Menonita), Rev. Pavel Gailans (Homestead Mennonite Church), and Bro. Phillip Moore (The Refuge Church).
The men will have the opportunity to discuss challenges and triumphs and be empowered through community. Session Two will begin after lunch where we will hear from Author, Nathanial Roddy, who will discuss the power of meeting God in broken places and becoming one with God. And on Sunday, please bring your family to worship together. Rev. Chidi Ihezuoh (L.A. Faith Chapel) will bring the Word, and worship will be followed by a fellowship meal.
To register, email officechmctampa@gmail.com or call (813) 247-2798 by May 12. We would love to see you there!
