Stress-Free Christmas, No Bible Study or Prayer Meeting (Pastoral Emphasis from 12/21)

I hope you will enjoy a stress-free (or at least a reduced stress) Christmas. We often stress ourselves out by spending way too much on meaningless gifts. Rick Warren said, "We buy things we don't need, with money we don't have, to impress people we don't even like." So this Christmas, don't worry with trying to please others with material gifts, but enjoy the gift of family and the gift of God's Son, Jesus Christ. And most importantly, share the gift of Christ with someone else.

Due to the holidays and to allow our deacons to enjoy extra time with family, there will be no more Bible Study (Wednesday evening and Thursday morning) or Prayer Meetings for the remainder of the year. Of course, this doesn't mean that you should not be studying the Bible and praying at home.

Everyone is invited to join us for our New Year's Eve Celebration on Wednesday, December 31st, starting at 9:00pm.

Next Sunday, we want you to give generously to the love offering as it will go to help out our Children's Ministry. The Children's Ministry would like to purchase a computer to help with the security and registration of the children. Your generous giving will be greatly appreciated.

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
