PREACHERS & PEOPLE CONFERENCE AND MORE

Family, “I pray that you are prospering and in good health even as your soul prospers”. (3rd John, verse 2).

Please note the following exciting things taking place at The Word Church. Free COVID-19 Vaccinations start next week. TWC is partnering with Rapid Reliable Testing (MD1) and offering FREE Covid-19 vaccinations. These free vaccinations are open to anyone who wants them including those concerned about their documentation status.

Testing will begin Friday, July 23rd from 3:00pm to 5:00pm and Saturday, July 24th, from 12:00pm to 4:00pm. Testing will continue each Friday and Saturday until further notice. The team from Rapid Reliable Testing are committed to serve everyone in line before shutting down for the day. Please help me spread the word to both our congregation and community at large.

The month of August marks our first ever Fall Faith & Fitness Focus. Throughout the month of August we will focus on our Spiritual fitness with particular emphasis on the areas of faith, finance, mental and physical health. Various members of TWC along with special guests will lead us in a variety of conference style conversations, teaching and provide tools designed to help us move forward as people of faith in these major areas in life. Register your interest by registering for more information via our church website and app today. Dr. Danielle Gilliam, Health Ministry leader at TWC will lead this project.
