For six weeks we will enjoy competition as we strive to be better soldiers in the army of our Lord.  This is a time to push a little extra and do our part to put on the whole armour of God!

No additional detail for this event.

On April 29, 1607, a nation was born when travel-weary Englishmen landed at Cape Henry on the shores of Virginia. There they established the foundation for what would become the most powerful country the world has ever seen. America’s destiny and purpose were sealed with the rough-hewn cross they erected at Cape Henry. All that would follow in our nation’s growth hinged on the single proclamation that this land belonged to Jesus Christ.

In the Mayflower Compact of 1620, the Pilgrims reaffirmed the mission set forth by the original Virginia settlers. Later, the Puritans carried the Cape Henry legacy further. On the deck of the Arbella, halfway between England and Cape Cod, leader John Winthrop declared, “We shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us, so that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a byword throughout the world.”

For more than 200 years this nation has known bountiful blessings and divine protection, but we have forsaken our God.  The history of the world is littered with the carcasses of great civilizations that have been destroyed, not from external attack, but from internal moral collapse.  If there was ever a time in the history of mankind for revival, it is now.
