Hyatt Regency Bethesda – Ballroom, One Bethesda Metro Center, Bethesda, Maryland 20814

The Centennial Banquet Committee and First Lady Drummer invite you to join us on this occasion beginning promptly at 6:00pm.

The subscription cost for adults is $100.00 and $60.00 for children 12 and under. A subscription entitles you to a reserved seat at the banquet and a special Centennial Souvenir Book that will be distributed in December 2012. It is important that all subscriptions be purchased before June 30, 2012.

God’s Blessings for All Generations
Psalm 90:1

Today we begin an exciting year long celebration focused on Gethsemane Baptist Church's rich history.  Throughout the next twelve months, we will focus on God's Blessings for All Generations as our church has been a sanctuary for preaching, teaching, and praying. As we proceed on this journey, we hope to feed and nourish our souls and spirits through prayer.
