Rebuilding Churches in Haiti

"So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith."
- Galatians 6:10

The earthquake in Haiti has devastated and destroyed their churches. Pastors Mark Driscoll and James MacDonald took a fact-finding trip to Haiti to get the story of the churches. They returned and preached a message to their respective churches reporting about the death and devastation that they saw.

We watched Pastor Driscoll's message on 3/31. If you missed it, you can watch it here.

We plan to watch Pastor MacDonald's message on 9/1. Driscoll and MacDonald formed the organization, Churches Helping Churches. Mt. Zion will be joining these churches across the country to help rebuild churches in Haiti. We will donate 10% of our yearly love offering to Churches Helping Churches. We are asking that you give generously to the love offering. Consider giving more (like a 10% increase ) to the love offering. Consider how you can sacrifice to give more to the love offering (like giving up a coffee, a lunch, etc).

Another way that you can do more is to purchase tents for the people of Haiti. The rainy and hurricane season is about to start and they need good, reliable, water-proof tents as temporary shelter from the rain. Please go to aHomeinHaiti to donate a tent.

Who will help the church? Despite our economy, the American church is greatly blessed and should help our brothers and sisters in Haiti.

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
