My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one\u2019s life for one\u2019s friends. \u2014 John 15:12-13<\/em><\/p>\n

The annual Family, Friends and Community Day is designed to have a sort of spiritual coming together. Special emphasis is placed on the worth and value of each person as a human being. It is a time we celebrate our commonalities rather than our differences. We invite individuals who are not members of All Nations Church to share their gifts with the broader collection of people. Singers, poets, liturgical dancers, instrumentalists, panelists etc. are all welcomed to add their talents and gifts in the shaping of the worship experience. We invite the churched and unchurched to bring their family members, friends, co-workers and neighbors to join us for a time of unity and Christian fellowship.<\/p>\n

Sunday, Jan. 21, 2024, is the annual Family, Friends and Community Day at All Nations Baptist Church, beginning at 10 a.m. This is a special service that churches across the country, look forward to each year. This is the time when churches open the doors of the church even wider, by special invitation, and welcome those who may be in need of prayer, or may just need a friend to talk to about some things in their life. If this sounds like you, then join the All Nations Baptist Church, located at 2 Rhode Island Avenue NE, Washington, D.C., where our pastor is the Rev. Dr. James Coleman.<\/p>\n
