Pastoral Emphasis from 4/09

We are in the process of ordering more hymnal books to replace those that are falling apart and missing pages. I ask that all members to please take care of them. I know that many people use the hymnals to cover the the vents to block the cold air when the A/C is on, but that damages the hymnals. We are looking into a solution for the A/C vents.

Mt.
Zion
is having its first Teen Summit Conference 2006 on Sat., Apr. 29th from 10:00am - 3:00pm. The agenda includes a talk show, fashion show, dramatic skits and a panel discussion with various leaders within our community. The topics covered within these activities are: Self- Image, Sex, Drugs, Crime and Gang Enrollment. We are excited about this summit and need every parent to support it by having their teens attend. And we need everyone to spread the word about it.

I also had the previlige of attending a presentation at Triangle Community Church called "Kidnapped: The Battle for your Child's Heart". It was quite an informative session about how the major media companies are marketing to our children to get their money without any regards to the effects that many of the negative messages they are sending are having on children. I hope to be able to share more from this presentation. They said that they would be offering it again in the next month. I would definitely encourage all parents to attend. If possible, we will see if they can bring the presentation to Mt. Zion.

So in order to remove any barriers that might prevent some from visiting us or feeling comfortable in our service, the leadership will dress a little more casual. We will try this out until the end of the year and then evaluate. So don't be surprised when you see me not wearing a tie! I shared the following email that we got via our website to show that we are spreading the Gospel worldwide. To God be the glory! Greetings Mt. Zion Church Family...Today is July 27, 2009 and I would like to share the blessing that I have received from your church. I was talking to my very dear sister, soror, friend Sis Brandi Hancock and she and I were having a heart to heart. I told her that I was
