The Pentecost weekend with our Chief Apostle is quickly approaching. While the divine service is the highlight of our weekend together, we are also looking forward to the day before, Saturday, May 19th. For the first time, Saturday has planned activities that offer the opportunity for us to come together. Below is a schedule of everything that will be happening on that day. Please join us at the Hylton Memorial Chapel in Woodbridge, VA for this day of fellowship, learning, and food!

An exhibition will have various booths set up displaying resources that are now available to the congregations in the USA district.
