Pastoral Emphasis from 4/27

Last Sunday, I issued the Psalm 119 challenge. The challenge is to read a verse of Psalm 119 everyday for the next 176 days (since there are 176 verses). This is to encourage and help discipline us to read the Bible daily. Plus each verse of Psalm 119 talks about God's Word. So I encourage everyone to mediate upon the verse you read and keep a journal about what insights you receive about God's Word.

The Church Family Meeting is tomorrow (4/28) at 7:00pm. All members are asked to be present to stay informed about what's happening at the church.

Dress Code, Spreading the Gospel to Japan, Skits & Pizza (Pastoral Emphasis from 7/26)

Thanks to all who came out to the Church Family Meeting. Our focus is reach the lost with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 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.

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.
