Upcoming events
JUNETEENTH
Juneteenth is the oldest internationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free. Note that this was two and a half years after President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation – which had become official January 1, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation had little impact on the Texans due to the minimal number of Union troops to enforce the new Executive Order. However, with the surrender of General Lee in April of 1865, and the arrival of General Granger’s regiment, the forces were finally strong enough to influence and overcome the resistance.
Flag Day
June 14, the anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the official US flag in 1777.
Shift national conference
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Prayer Awakening
REFRESH. RENEW. REFOCUS.
A great way to begin the fall season is with an emphasis on prayer.
We are looking forward to pastors, church leaders and prayer coordinators coming together to seek the Lord in prayer.
As we continue to call our people to prayer and urge churches to become houses of prayer — truly praying churches — the PRAYER AWAKENING conference provides an opportunity for pastors, lay leaders, and prayer coordinators to be challenged and encouraged and to experience great times of corporate prayer.
