Happy Easter, New Senior Choir, True Fasting (Pastoral Emphasis from 4/12)

"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! " The cross that was intended for evil was the means to redeem lost humanity. If God can bring good out of the crucifixion of His Son, then He can bring good from any horror that befalls His children. Happy Easter! Attention: All Mt. Zion Members Ages 50 & Above...The Music Ministry is gearing up for the singing debut of the Mt. Zion Senior Choir on Sun., Apr. 26th. Be a part of this new choir by coming to rehearsal on Monday, Apr. 20th at 7:00pm and on Saturday, Apr. 25th at 10:00am (if you are not participating in Convoy of Hope). The Initial Sermon of Sis. Joyce Chilongo will be held on Sunday, April 26th at 4:00pm. Everyone is invited to this special occasion. As lent is ending, many of us have been fasting. God really hit me as to what should be the results of true fasting. I encourage everyone to read Isaiah 58:4-10. Fasting should result in action…to help others especially the poor a

What's so Good about Friday?

Good Friday was humanity's darkest day. When one thinks of how unjust the crucifixion was, one could easily get the impression that might makes right, that justice is a joke, goodness a farce, and that righteousness is of no consequence. When one looks at Good Friday, one could get the impression that God's face had been turned away from the creation and we had been left to the reign of human beings who had the power to manipulate and control our destinies to fit their selfish purposes. When one looks at Good Friday, one could get the impression that money and power control human destiny. What is so good about Good Friday? It is the fact that it was God's plan for His Son to willingly give His life on the cross for us! It is the fact that the death of Jesus accomplished God's purpose to redeem mankind. Friday was good so that Sunday could be GREAT! Have a blessed Good Friday!

Pastoral Anniversary, Easter Celebration (Pastoral Emphasis from 4/5)

On Sunday, I celebrated my seventh pastoral anniversary. I thank everyone for your prayers, encouragements, and well wishes. I thank God for my wife, Anita, for being a great support to me. She is a strong woman and wonderful mother who is able to care for our three children while I'm out doing pastoral ministry. Seven years have gone by quickly and God has accomplished much in the ministry. But I believe we have have only begun. Looking forward to all that God has in store for us! Any men who are interested in mentoring our male youth are asked to sign up at the Welcome Center. Please see Bro. George Richards for more information. This coming Sunday is Easter. We will be having our sunrise service at 6am, followed by breakfast around 8am, Sunday School, and our regular morning service. Join us and bring a friend as we celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Quick update on last Saturday's Convoy of Hope Prayer Bus Tour: about 25 people came fr
