We had a great time at the Gift of Heritage program on Saturday. We have a great bunch of talented people at Mt. Zion who use their gifts of drama, dance, and creativity to bring honor to God. A special training workshop is scheduled on February 28th for ALL Children's/Bible Study/Sunday School Teachers and Volunteers of children ages 12 and under for the new Discipleland curriculum. Sign up at the Welcome Center. Don't forget the "LOVE, SHARING, AND GIVE" Food Drive (sponsored by the Children’s Ministry) which ends this week. Bring your canned goods and nonperishable items and place in the designated boxes. This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent . Ash Wednesday is a day of repentance and Lent is the season of prayer and fasting. We will be anointing with oil mixed with ashes right after Bible Study.

Our youth (ages 13-17) had their first Youth Enrichment Service on Sunday and the word I'm hearing is that they really enjoyed it. I was told a few teens had rededicated their lives back to God. Everyone that attended the Couples Sweetheart's Ball on Valentine's Day had a great time. There was a lot of dancing going on! So if anyone has photos that they want to share, please send them to our web admin so we can post them on our photo gallery! As you know, the primary part of our vision is to spread the Gospel. To that end, we've renamed one of our Outreach sub-ministries from "Discipleship" to the more accurate "Community Evangelism". As the name suggests, this ministry evangelizes to the community (whether by doing door-to-door or other methods). If you have the gift of evangelism, then you should really check this ministry out. Please see the ministry director, Minister Amekuedi, to get involved. Don't forget that our "The Gift o

The Couples' Ministry will host a Sweetheart's Ball on Saturday, February 14th at the Radisson Hotel, RTP, starting at 6:30pm. "The Gift of Heritage" Program will be held on Sat., Feb. 21st at 1.00pm. Everyone is invited to attend and invite others you know to the program. Flyers are available at the Welcome Center. The Children's Ministry is sponsoring a "LOVE, SHARING, AND GIVE" Food Drive during the month of February to support the community. Each family member is asked to bring canned goods and nonperishable items and place in the designated boxes. Mt. Zion will be partnering with dozens of area churches for a special day of Gospel-centered ministry of compassion called Convoy of Hope on April, 25th. On the
