Pastoral Emphasis from 4/29

Our very own Angel Johnson was recognized by the Smith Elementary School as their Spotlight on Students Award winner for 2006 - 2007. Spotlight on Students is a program sponsored by Wake County Public Schools to recognize students for outstanding personal achievement. Please congratulate Angel the next time you see her.

Sis. Michelle Chalmers invites her Mt. Zion family to support her in the first level of her new (GiftQuick) Business on May 5th at 4:00pm at her home (1552 Dirkson Court).

Our first Theatrical Dance Production, "Distractions" was a successful! Everyone from the dancers, musicians, directors, stage hands, etc did a great job. And more importantly, there were 31 visitors at the event, 10 of which did not have a church home and 1 person accepted Christ during the invitation. Praise the Lord!

I personally encourage all who can to participate in the Impact classes starting this week for Harvest Crusade. Regardless of whether you volunteer to be on the follow-up team, it will be good training to help you share your faith.

Here's an excerpt from the testimony of Pastor Mark Harris of Charlotte regarding the Impact classes: "Just wanted to drop you a word concerning the Impact Classes that are soon starting in the Raleigh area. I can honestly say that as I had the pleasure of chairing the Harvest Crusade in Augusta, Ga. in 2005, the impact classes were a major piece of the puzzle. They are designed to truly prepare the body of Christ in the city spiritually for what God is going to do. For many believers, it gets them into God's Word and focuses on His plans and purposes for their lives. The Impact Classes not only provide such a tremendous spiritual foundation, but they also provide a tremendous mobilization feature to the overall crusade. There is something special about believers gathering from churches all across the area in several 'host churches' over these nights of classes."
