A long time ago, God made a promise to Abraham. This promise would extend to the nations and find fulfilment in the first Advent of Christ. God patiently worked in Abraham's life in such a way that would produce abundant fruit for all. May God work in us to produce abundant fruit in Annapolis and beyond...

Genesis 28.1-5

1 Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him and directed him, “You must not take a wife from the Canaanite women. 2 Arise, go to Paddan-aram to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father, and take as your wife from there one of the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother. 3 God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become a company of peoples. 4 May he give the blessing of Abraham to you and to your offspring with you, that you may take possession of the land of your sojournings that God gave to Abraham!” 5 Thus Isaac sent Jacob away. And he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban, the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
