Beltsville Seventh-day Adventist Church—Ammendale Campus

4200 Ammendale Rd, Beltsville, MD 20705, USA

Saturday 12:00 PM

Welcome to Beltsville Seventh-day Adventist Church. We are so glad you’ve joined us for worship today.

For many of us, there is an unseen barrier that has crept into our hearts, one that divides communities, erodes trust, and goes against everything the Gospel stands for. Today, we will go “All In” confronting the barrier of ethnic prejudice. It’s something that can quietly take root in our thoughts, actions, and relationships. But Scripture challenges us to tear down those walls and embrace the truth that in Christ, we are all one. Join us as we explore how God’s love calls us to break free from prejudice and reflect His heart for unity.

Focus Text:

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. John 17:20-23, NIV

HEALTH MINISTRIES
National Domestic Violence Awareness Month-October
Domestic violence is sometimes called intimate partner violence. It includes physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, as well as sexual coercion and stalking by a current or former intimate partner. Intimate partner violence affects millions of women each year in the United States. Relationship violence is when one or both people in a relationship — or in a past relationship — are abusive, controlling, or aggressive toward the other person.

Warning Signs of Relationship Violence:
It can be hard to know if your relationship is becoming unhealthy or unsafe. But there are things you can do to spot the warning signs of relationship violence and get help.

Ask yourself these questions:
•Does my partner disrespect or insult me?
•Does my partner blame me for problems that aren’t my fault, like how they treat me?
•Does my partner make most of the decisions in our relationship?
•Am I ever afraid to tell my partner something?
•Do I ever feel forced to do things that I don't want to do?
•Has my partner ever forced or pressured me to do something sexual with them when I didn’t want to?
•Does my partner promise to change and then keep doing the same hurtful things?
