Pastoral Emphasis from 9/30

Well, we had our very last worship service at our old location (8500 Chapel Hill Road) on Sunday at 4pm. The Mt Zion Mass Choir was simply awesome. I preached from Joshua 4 on the topic, "Never Forget How You Crossed Over". We had an amazing time celebrating what God has done for us at our old location and looking forward to what God will do when we relocate to our new facilities. If you were there, tell me what you thought about the last service.

Our Building Dedication/Open House for the new church is Saturday, Oct. 6 starting at 10am. First service at the new location (316 Allen Lewis Drive) is Oct. 7 (Sunday School at 8:30am and Worship Service at 9:45am). I remind all of our members to please be considerate of our new neighbors and use Evans Road to enter. Click here for directions.

Our parents and teens have completed the Pray21 campaign. This week should have helped the teens understand that becoming what God wants can be painful. Expect hard times but through them, hang onto God as He reshapes you. Maturity relies on God’s strength and the burden becomes light. Many of our youth have said they realized that they could survive without Facebook and MySpace so I hope they continue to pray and fast in order to hear more clearly from God.

Even though we don't have a formal dress code at church, I think we have an unspoken one. Our guest may perceive a dress code based on what they see on the stage from leadership. 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
