Convoy of Hope results, Initial Sermon, Church Family Meeting (Pastoral Emphasis from 4/26)

On last Saturday, 65 churches came together for Convoy of Hope to show the love of Christ and give our community some hope. 6,134 guests were admitted through the site front entry. They were able to get free groceries, free haircuts, free lunch, free job fair, entertainment for the kids, and more. In our Prayer Tent (where I volunteered), we prayed for 5,900 people! They told us that the national average for response forms for a crowd our size is 150-220. There were 455 family unit response forms submitted which is 2-3 times more than that was projected. These response forms represent people who received Christ, rededicated their lives, or were seeking a church home. Now the churches will be following up with these families.

I am so proud of all the volunteers from Mt Zion. Serving at Convoy of Hope is the work of ministry. We have to get out of our churches and go to where the hurting people are. That's the real work of ministry!

On Sunday afternoon, we licensed Sis. Joyce Chilongo as an evangelist. Her message, "In the fullest of time...in the meantime" encouraged us on what to do while waiting for the promises of God.

On Monday evening, we had our Church Family Meeting. A few important things from the meeting:
  • We are planning on offering Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University course at the church.
  • We presented some vital information regarding updated security procedures. For those that missed it, you can request to get the video of the meeting and we will get the info out to all ministry directors to distribute to all ministries.
  • We also published the first edition of our new newsletter, the Voice of Zion!

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. 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
