New Year's Eve Celebration, Giving Campaign Online, FPU graduation (Pastoral Emphasis from 12/27)

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Be thankful for your blessings because Christmas is not merry for some people. Many people are depressed and have very little. Even though we may not have everything we WANT, we are greatly blessed with material things and should not complain. But the greatest blessing of all is to be at peace with God!

Everyone is invited to join us for our New Year's Eve Celebration on Thursday, December 31st, at 10:00pm. Come on time and bring a friend. We're going to have a great time. You will not want to miss it.

This past Sunday was the last Sunday to participate in our Christmas Giving Campaign (sacrificially give towards a 15-passenger bus) to build our Transportation Ministry. The campaign runs through the end of the year so you can still give online. Select Special Events and then indicate "Bus" or "Van" in the Event type section.

We recognized the first round of graduates (including my wife and I) from our Financial Peace University. As a class, we started the course with about $500 K worth of debt and after 13 weeks, reduced it by $200 K! It is a life-changing course so don't miss the next time it is offered.

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
