Attention, Mt. Zion Parents: If you are a parent of preteens and/or teens, we have created an emailing list, parents@mtzionmb.org, for the sole purpose of sharing important information about protecting and raising our children. To subscribe, send an email to parents-subscribe@mtzionmb.org. Don’t forget to sign up for the fall '07 session of the Spiritual Enrichment course scheduled to start Sept 16th. The deadline to sign-up is Sept. 9th. The Greeters’ Ministry is looking for dedicated people to join us. When we move to the new edifice, there will be a greater need for dedicated greeters (especially to help at our new welcome center). You must have a friendly personality and have a sincere willingness to work with others. On 9/9, Mt Zion, along with other churches across the nation, will be participating in a 21 day prayer campaign for parents and teens to pray together. In addition to prayer, I’m going to challenge the teens to fast from listening to secular music and the i...

This is one of the most powerful skits I've seen in a long time. Please share with your friends and family because this is a struggle that many people have dealt with or are dealing with now. But there is victory in Jesus Christ!!! Romans 8:1-4 (NIV): "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit."

I've been getting a lot of these lately, so just be careful. If you didn't sign up for whatever they put in the email, then just delete it! read more | digg story

I want to remind everyone that there should be no food or drink in the sanctuary. We are finding too many empty water bottles after services. If you need water during the service for medical reasons, please let an usher know. We want to take care of our current sanctuary so that we will not take bad habits to our new one. Parents, the Youth Ministry will be meeting with the teen males who enrolled for the Male Mentoring Session on Sat., Aug. 11th at 9:00am-10:30am in the fellowship hall. If you are interested in getting your son involved, please contact Deacon Adrian Jones. If you were at the 11:15am service on this past Sunday, you know that we had an awesome time in worship that invited the power of the Holy Spirit into our sanctuary. Youth began to worship and praise God and deliverance took place. This happened a few week ago, but God took us to another level this time. I look forward to whatever God has in store for us when we worship Him in spirit and in truth. So if you we...
