Ebenezer A.M.E. Church Poetry Ministry

Ebenezer A.M.E. Church Poetry Ministry The Ebenezer Poetry Ministry invites all who would embrace the Word of God through Christ to join us as we lift His Word. In the beginning was The Word...

We believe that God has ordained the Anointed P.E.N.S. to do great works among His people, and claim all power in His holy name for that which He calls us to accomplish. As poets, we welcome His presence and ask for guidance as we strive to lift truth that would shine light where there is darkness, offer wisdom where this is confusion, and spread love wherever His children are gathered in His name

. We pray that this Ministry will be a beacon to all who seek Him, and serve as a vessel through which souls may be saved through the sharing and hearing of anointed words of poetry. The Ministry hosts 4 Poetry & Praise Open Mic Nights annually, which begin at 6 PM and end at 8:30 PM on the 3rd Friday of Feb., Apr., Sept. and Nov. The Open Mic sign-up list closes at 7:30 PM. Open Mic Nights are free and open to all. These events typically include a featured poet and a featured musical artist/vocalist. The Ministry's resident Djembe drummer usually performs during the Open Mic Nights as well. Light refreshments are offered and a free-will offering is accepted. Additional Ministry services, presentations and performances are scheduled as requests are received and as resources permit. Requests and inquiries may be directed to the Ebenezer AME Church Poetry Ministry 24-hour Hotline at 301.265.8254.

Thank you to all who joined us for the Ebenezer A.M.E. Church Poetry Ministry 2026 Black History Month celebration on Friday evening, February 20th. What a blessed and empowering celebration we had with Jonte Luki Barrett, as our Featured Poet. Thank you also to Djembe drummer, Doc Powell, who always sets the vibe for our celebrations. Our musical ensemble, The Psalmists of Solomon took "We've Come This Far By Faith" to a whole new level! Thank you, Sis. Christine, who directs the ensemble and lifts all within earshot to feel the glory of God. Thank you to those who participated in the Open Mic, and mostly, thank you to my Anointed P.E.N.S. family for once again ministering to the needs of our people.

I believe our ancestors would be proud. As has been said, "We are the descendants of those who refused to die." May we all find and embrace a purpose, create a space of safety, and a means to serve one another. In this divisive time, may we come together and celebrate who and whose we are, understanding that we each must do our part in the unfolding of history, no matter how seemingly small or overwhelmingly large that role is. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Happy Black History Month, everyone. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, who is recognized as "the father of Black History," was the forward thinker who established Negro History Week one hundred years ago, a time that was much more fraught with danger for such action than today. Let's celebrate and commemorate this centennial all year long. Ase.
