Senior Pastor Seminar: The UFO Craze
2023-07-14 18:30 - 21:00 | Worship Center, 9900 Old Keene Mill Rd, Burke, VA, 22015, United States
From Navy fighter pilots tracking objects capable of doing things beyond our technical abilities, to U.S. Marines at Fort Wilson in California photographing a jaw-dropping black rectangular object hovering over their barracks, it appears that the UFO phenomena have gone mainstream. Even the Pentagon has established the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force to hopefully determine the origin of some of these inexplicable aerial craft.
In light of this, we must ask, “How should people of faith think about the presence of UFOs in our world?” Pastor Marty will attempt to answer this question on July 14 from 6:30PM-9:00PM in the Worship Center. Join us so your thinking is enhanced on this topic, and you are better equipped to engage people who have honest questions.
This event will be available in-person and online. The Q&A session following the seminar will only be available in-person. No cost to attend and all are welcome. Whether in-person or online, registration is required.

2023-07-21 19:00 - 20:30 | Student Center, 9900 Old Keene Mill Rd, Burke, VA, 22015, United States
In a galaxy far, far away, and in a future not too distant, the crew of spaceship Star Quest J-316 is on a mission: trekking through the galaxy, bringing the Word of God to people everywhere! In the future, all written communication is now sent and stored digitally–nothing is written on paper. The Bible is stored on the Intergalactic Bible Database, allowing all people access to God’s Word. But there is a radical plot underway by a misguided, power-hungry ruler who is steadily erasing scriptures from the database. The crew of J-316 has just landed on a planet whose inhabitants still employ the age-old practice of Bible memorization. With the Word of God hidden in their hearts, they offer to go back to the ship with the crew to help restore the lost scriptures. But will they be able to stop the plot to steal scriptures away? Time is of the essence, and nothing in this world or beyond could be more important than making sure God’s Word remains available to people throughout the galaxy!
This Star Quest performance is put on by the Ignite Theater Camp. Students are putting on the show as well as running some of the technical side. The event is free. Invite your family and friends!
