All members are invited to participate in our Family Christmas Celebration on Sat., Dec. 16th at 3pm at the Herbert Young Community Center which is across the street diagonally from the church.
Please note our Holiday Service Schedule: On 12/24, 12/31 there will be one service at 10:30am with Sunday School starting at 9am. See the church calendar for changes to prayer meeting and Bible Study.
I also wanted to bring awareness to the situation that's happening in Darfur (a region in western Sudan). This has been a Weekend of Prayer and Action for Darfur. If you are not familiar with what's happening, there's an ongoing conflict between the Arab militias (back by the Sudanese government) and black African rebels resulting in over 2 million civilians displaced and an estimated death toll of 400,000 killed. The Arab militias are targeting the non-Arab, black African population (killing of babies, the mass rape of women and girls, burning of homes and religious buildings...this is essentially genocide). Mt. Zion has sent a letter along with other churches and the faith community to President Bush to act immediately to increase humanitarian aid. We should also pray for the innocent lives being effected by this conflict. This is also a good reminder of how blessed we are here in the U.S. We truly have absolutely NO reason to complain. God has also laid it on my heart for us to give a donation to aid in the humanitarian effort. So on 12/24 and 12/31, the love offering from these services will be donated to help the people of Darfur. Please see the following website for additional information: http://www.savedarfur.org/
