LADIES, IT’S TIME TO SUIT UP!

Next Sunday is our Annual Women’s Day, and we are coming with expectation, power, prayer, and purpose!

This year’s theme is:

“Putting on God’s Armor and Standing in the Gap”
Ephesians 6:11–18 | Ezekiel 22:30

Because this is not the season to show up uncovered.

This is not the season to fight empty-handed.

This is the season to put on the whole armor of God and stand boldly in the gap for our families, our church, our community, and our assignment!

Join us for a mighty move of God with our guest speaker:

Reverend Katrese Kirk

Sunday, July 19, 2026
11:00 AM

And don’t miss our Women’s Day Breakfast the day before:

Bring your sisters, your mothers, your daughters, your friends, and your prayer partners. We are gathering, we are covering, we are celebrating, and we are standing in the gap!
