Thank everyone involved with the youth week activities (revival, Saturday's events, and Sunday's contemporary service). We are excited (and angels rejoicing) that one young lady accepted Christ during the revival. Don't forget the play, "The Whole House" , will be hosted at Mt. Zion on Sat., Apr. 5th at 3:00pm.

Please pray for my safe travel.

A big shout out to the men who came out to do some work around the church grounds on Saturday. If you missed out on the work...don't worry...there's more work to be done. Check with our facilities manager, Deacon Johnson, to find out how you can help. It looks like the influence of Mt. Zion is going international. One of our high schoolers, Bro. Brinson Jones, is currently in Japan. Sis. Brandi Hancock along with her band Mixed Water and Shaw University will be singing in Prague, Czech Republic, Budapest, Hungary, Frankfurt Germany, and Vienna. Let's keep Sis. Brandi and the others in our prayers that God would keep them safe as they travel and that they would be a great witness for Christ through their singing.
