Santa Maria District Holy Convocation Schedule
Begins Tuesday, September 4, 2018 through Friday, September 7, 2018

Dear Beloved Saints of the Most High God:

This is to inform you of our yearly Holy Convocation which begins on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 through Friday, September 7, 2018. 
This convocation will be a time of refreshing, as Gods people come together and praise the Lord in Spirit and in Truth. God has great and awesome things for the people of God.

Our Theme is: “Called to be the Head, and not the Tail.” 
Our scripture text is taken from Deuteronomy 28:12-13. (KJV). 
"The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. (13) And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them." (KJV)
