Greetings Friends in Christ,  Psalms 117 was established over seven years ago to provide a Christ-centered venue for fellowship outside the church edifice. It's been our mission to unify the body of Christ, transcending beyond denominations, and  showcase Christian artists through live music, comedy and poetry. Moreover, we seek to motiviate believers in their walk with the Lord as well as witness to non-believers.  God's grace allowed Psalms 117 to relocate in March 2007 to a new location in the heart of downtown Silver Spring and people are definitely talking about the new venue and services we provide:

I just HAD to let you know about this past Saturday night at Psalms 117 It was incredible!!!  There was open mic poetry, comedy, and of course music for your soul! After I sang two selections, a talented male trio called Shaydes of Lyfe tore up the stage and had everybody standing on their feet! Then, none other than EMI Gospel Recording Artist, Antonio Neal, set a tone of worship that left everyone in the presence of the Lord. I must tell you, this was such an awesome event!  Big props go to the founder of Psalms 117 for creating such a wonderful atmosphere for Christian entertainment and expression.  Listen, you truly owe it to yourself to experience this exciting fellowship and talent, whether it's on a date or with the family. Jaqi, Ft. Washington, MD  "I  would really like to hear more information on your open mic nights, and your poetry nights. I am an aspiring poet, so praise the lord for another place to worship his holy name outside the church!!?"  Ambi  Ft. Washington, MD       "Just what I've been looking for, and I will join you on July 9. I'm in a singles mix at my church and we've been looking for interest outside the church, but would keep our focus on Jesus."  C. Bradley Elkridge, MD     "I just wanted to let you know that if the devil ever plants the seed of doubt in your mind or makes you question the " bottom line, I just want you to know, for the record, that I am appreciative of your attempt to give something to the people of God. Thank you for the opportunity to be heard."  God Bless." Damon-Washington, DC      "Love this concept! How can I sow into your ministry? Please contact me when you have an opportunity. Thanks, God Bless." Dale-Virginia Beach, VA     "Please keep me up to date on your events. This is a good work you are doing!  Thank you for all your efforts! God bless!" Angela˜Silver Spring, MD      "This is very encouraging to see that there is something 'ELSE' for God's chosen to not feel bad about. I pray that this is uplifting to not only me, but to ANYONE who visits?"  LaKrista- Largo, MD
