Pastoral Emphasis from 9/9

I wanted to bring some awareness to the Jena 6 for those who are not familiar with the situation. At least three charter buses will be leaving Durham, NC for Jena, Louisiana, on September 19 to join thousands of others in a rally in support of the first of the Jena Six to be sentenced. North Carolinians will join thousands of others from Atlanta, Dallas, Washington D.C, Birmingham, Tallahassee and dozens of other cities in a protest rally outside the LaSalle Parish Courthouse. Tickets for the round-trip bus ride are $120 per person. Visit our community connections section for further details.

They say it takes 21 days to establish a habit. That’s one reason we’re challenging adults and young people in this church to spend 21 days together (praying and fasting), laying a foundation for a 365-day-a-year, til-death-do-we-leave-this-earth commitment to God and His mission. This first week's overall theme is "Believe".

If the parents/adult partners of the pre-teens would like to get a copy of the material, there is a free downloadable version on line. For details, you can either check with Sis. Rasheeda Oliver or send me an email.

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
