Past Events

The Mother of God Community is convening a National Prayer Summit during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (January 18-25). The purpose of the Prayer Summit is to ask God for a revival across our nation by taking the time to humble ourselves together as one people in Christ Jesus. We will ask for God’s mercy on us, the Church, and the whole nation. The event will be run by several leaders including Pastor Lonny Bringham of San Diego, CA, son of Prayer Summit founder, Reverend Ray Bringham. We are dedicating time to seek God through the Biblical prayer of 2 Chronicles 7:14 where God promises the healing and restoration of our land if his people would humble themselves and turn from sin. Inspired by this prayer, the day will include praise and worship, dynamic preaching and a new call to repentance for our sins against the Lord and for our lack of seeking his face and his Word. This will be a Catholic and Ecumenical Summit proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ. We are also praying for unity among the Christian denominations and peoples. Come join us as we pray for conversion and revival!

Schedule and What to Expect:

Friday January 24th: 7:00 pm – 9:30pm: The Summit will commence with praise and worship, preaching and testimonies. Saturday January 25th: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm Saturday will feature different leaders who will lead specific areas in repentance at each hour. Come when you can to unite yourself to the prayers of others on behalf of our nation and the Body of Christ. We expect God will work miracles of healing and reconciliation. Sunday January 26th: 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm The Summit will conclude at our weekly Praise and Worship gathering Sunday at 7pm.

Grace and Glory Conference, July 13-14, 2019

Pope Francis continually invites us into Christ’s heart of mercy.  Pope St. John Paul II wrote that humanity is “destined for grace and glory.” Grace and glory are marvelous fruits of his mercy.

We believe that God, seeing the battle Christians are experiencing in an often hostile and secular culture, desires that we experience in new and wonderful ways, his merciful grace and the beauty and power of his manifest glory among us.

“Father, I desire that those you have given me will be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory.” (John 17:24)

Current of Grace DC, May 10-11 2019

Experience the Living Waters of the Holy Spirit

Jesus stood up and exclaimed, “Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink. Whoever believes in mye, as scripture says: ‘Rivers of living water will flow from within him.'” (John 7:37-38)

Do you want to share your faith? Do you want to see the Holy Spirit touch people through you in power? Pope Francis inspired the Church at Circus Maximus in Rome, June 2017, with a prophetic call to experience the movement of the Holy Spirit in what he called God’s glorious Current of Grace.  The Pope believes there is so much more that God wants to do in our world, through each of us!  When the Holy Spirit touches the human heart, He makes known His joy and freedom.  Georgian Banov and his students will train all in ways that they have learned to identify God’s glorious presence within, to give our faith to the poor.  We will go out into the streets in teams with Global Celebration students and experience the grace of the Holy Spirit in a new way that heals hearts, strengthens people, and helps you to live your life with a new vision, passion, and purpose. Come and:

  • Identify the Holy Spirit’s movement
  • Train in activating your gifts to minister to friends and family
  • Discover new ways to evangelize in the power of the Holy Spirit
  • Experience awesome praise and worship
  • Experience healing, deliverance, and breaking free of things that weigh us down

This evening conference will end in a free healing service at Covenant United Methodist Church to heal and refresh you more in the Spirit than you thought possible.

The conference will be led by Fr. Fred Close and Georgian Banov, chock-full of fun, inspiration, and even some Russian worship songs.
