Anthem Family Convocation | September 11-13
Dear Anthem Family,
We are hosting our first ever Anthem Family Convocation September 11–13, and we would absolutely LOVE for you to join us for this very special weekend together!
WHAT IS ANTHEM FAMILY CONVOCATION?
The word convocation means an assembly of persons called together to a meeting. It comes from a word that literally means to call together. And after all that our Anthem Family has walked through over these past few months, we believe there is no better time for us to come together.
We are calling our entire Anthem Family, from every location and every city, to gather together in one place. To pray together, connect together, worship together, share life together, grow together, and most importantly, to seek God together.
If at all possible, we would LOVE for you to make space to spend the entire weekend with us. We are believing the Lord is going to do something very special in us and through us as we gather together, and that He is going to meet us in a powerful way.
HERE'S THE SCHEDULE:
Friday, September 11 at 7PM - Anthem Night at 7105 Hohman Avenue
Saturday, September 12 at 7PM Convocation Session 2 at 7105 Hohman Avenue
Sunday, September 13 - 6 Year Anniversary Celebration at all of our locations during our regular Sunday service times
MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ANTHEM FAMILY CONVOCATION
Who is Anthem Family Convocation for?
Convocation is open to everyone who wants to attend, but it is being designed specifically to minister to and strengthen our Anthem Family & Friends. There is no registration required, just show up! Doors will open 30 minutes before each gathering. We have quite a bit of space available, but we do expect to be at capacity, so come early!
How much is it?
Anthem Family Convocation is FREE!
Where is Convocation taking place?
Friday and Saturday will take place at our 7105 Hohman Avenue building in Hammond. Sunday services will take place at our regular times and locations, but we will ALL be celebrating ALL that God has done over these past six years together.
What about my kids?
Anthem Kids is hosting a special Anthem Kids Night on Friday night for all kids birth–5th grade. Saturday Night's gathering will be a family service with all of us in the same room. Anthem Kids will be available during every Sunday service at every location. We invite all of our teens to join us in the main sessions!
Will there be any MERCH?!
So glad you asked! YES! We are releasing one special merch piece specifically for the weekend, and it will be available starting Friday night!
Why is this so last minute?
Our original plan was to host our Anthem Conference this same weekend. But with the craziness of this season, building moves, storms, power outages, and everything else we have walked through, we felt it was important to pivot toward something that would serve our church family in this moment.
What will the feel of Convocation be?
We are keeping the main thing the main thing. There won't be a lot of extracurricular activities or “specials.” There will be a lot of worship, prayer, the Word, and ministry. We are creating space for us to come together, fix our eyes, seek the Lord, encourage one another, and remember who we are and what God has called us to do.
Anthem Family, I believe there is something powerful that happens when God's people make the decision to come together. So if you can, clear the calendar. Bring the family. Make the drive. Come hungry. Come expectant. We would love to spend the weekend with you! Let's come together from every location, every city, every generation, and every season of life and seek God together. I believe this is going to be a monumental weekend for us as a people. I can't wait to see you there!
