Thirsty Thursdays Bible Study

"Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you."
Joshua 3:5, NIV



Joshua's command to "consecrate yourselves" is meant for today.  Many of us are stuck in cycles of "getting ready to get ready" which means doing our own thing today while promising time for God tomorrow.  However, Joshua's command is a "right now" assignment so that we will be prepared for what God has in store.
 
Join us this week and bring a friend as we hear a word from God about consecrating ourselves and Getting Ready for Amazing Things!

Thursday, August 13th; 7:00 p.m. -  8:30 p.m.
Ebenezer's Original Sanctuary
7806 Allentown Road, Fort Washington, MD
