New Adult Classes, Church-wide Fast for Lent, Gift of Heritage (Pastoral Emphasis from 2/14)

Our 2010 Adult Christian Education Curriculum is available (download from website & we'll post on church bulletin board). New classes will be offered like "Defending Your Faith" (currently started) and "How to Study the Bible" (starting in March). Take advantage of these new course offerings to continue in your spiritual growth.

This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday which begins the Lent season. Immediately after Wednesday Bible Study, we will anoint with ashes. I'm calling for a church-wide fast for Lent. Prayerfully consider doing one of the three types of fasts. During this fast, there are three areas that you can pray for:
  • Repentance (confess & repent of the sinful areas in your life: pride, apathy, selfishness, etc)
  • Haiti (especially during the rainy season that is about to start)
  • God's will regarding the sell of our old church property
Next Sunday during our worship service, we will have our Gift of Heritage program to celebrate Black History Month as well as honoring other cultures. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream that one day little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. And we will honor that dream as we not only celebrate our heritage but the heritage of others as well.

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
