We're so proud of our own Braxton Payton for "standing out" with good manners and good dance moves. Check him out on this news report . The Youth Contemporary Service held this afternoon at 4:00pm was a great success! All of the youth from both Mt. Zion and PCC did an awesome job singing, dancing, and reciting poetry. Elder Mike Smith of Phillipian Community Church of Raleigh gave a great word from Romans 12 . Pastor Larry Snead and Christ First Christian Fellowship Center's Music Ministry invite the Mt. Zion family to their Easter Musical, "Morning Glory," on next Sunday, April 5th at 6:00pm. I got the following email that shows the power of sharing free audio CDs of sermons. So don't forget to order free CDs of sermons and share them with family and friends. I had the privilege to be able to hear the sermon [Practical Atheist] on CD sent to my co-worker by her family. I must say if you love Jesus and want to serve Him in every way this sermon is

Boy, I'm glad that getting into heaven is not based on your bowling score! The men had a great time bowling on last Friday. My goal is to always break a 100 but on the first game, I missed it by 1 pin! And my good friend, Bro. Barry Singleton started singing " 99 and a half won't do "!! You could truly feel the love at the bowling alley. On Sunday evening, we had our first Pastor's Tea with our newest members. The tea was a great time for me and the elders to interact with these new members. I got a chance to share God's vision for Mt. Zion but most importantly I got a chance to hear from these members what drew them to Mt. Zion. A few things that I heard were: loving, welcoming atmosphere; family-oriented; and an active children's ministry. Philippian Community Church (Pastor Eric Ellis) is having their first Dance Extravaganza on March 13th at 7:30pm. Our Fine Arts Ministry will be participating. Be sure to go out and show your support.

We invite all of Newer Members (October 2007 to present) to join me for a special Tea on this Sunday, March 8th from 5:00pm to 6:30pm.
