Christians United for Israel, along with churches in North Georgia and the Greater Chattanooga area, invites the community to a “Night to Honor Israel” on Thursday, Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Colonnade, 264 Catoosa Circle in Ringgold.
"The purpose of this event is to show solidarity between Jewish people and Christians in their support of Israel," officials said.
The event is open to the public. There is no cost to attend. A complimentary reception will follow the event. All people are welcome regardless of religion or denomination.
The Keynote Speaker is Erick Stakelbeck, director of Christians United for Israel’s Watchman Project and host of “TheWatchman,” a weekly news magazine program that airs Thursdays nights on TBN.
"Mr. Stakelbeck is a sought after authority on Midddle East, terrorism, and radical Islam. He is a frequent guest on Fox News. He has written three books on terrorism with the latest entitled: ISIS Exposed: Beheadings, Slavery and the Hellish Reality of Radical Islam, which will be on sale during a book signing following the event," officials said.
Additional speakers include the Consul General from Israel to Southeastern United States Judith Varnai-Shorer; Lyndon Allen, central regional coordinator, Christians United for Israel and Pastor of Woodmont Bible Church in Nashville; as well as Georgia State Senator Jeff Mullis.
Musical presentations will be given by Shiran Amir, Israeli cultural emissary with the Jewish Federation of Greater Chattanooga; the Lee University Symphonic Band, conducted by Dr. Mark Bailey; and Melissa Stamper from Woodmont Bible Church in Nashville.
The ROTC from Ringgold High School will act as the Color Guard. Scouts from the Cherokee Area Council Boy Scouts of America will serve as parking attendants and ushers. Pastor Bret Yaeger, Temple Baptist Church in Dalton, will serve as the master of ceremonies. The planning committee for the local CUFI area consists of members from Chattanooga and North Georgia and includes both Christian and Jewish people.
