Church Family Meeting, Update on Kit Assembly, Sponsoring a Child from Uganda (Pastoral Emphasis from 7/25)

Our next Church Family Meeting is Monday at 7:00pm. All members are asked to be present. We will be presenting a new way of doing our shepherding ministry instead of by alphabet (I will blog about this later).

Outreach Caregiver event is Saturday Sept 18th from 10am-2pm. Kits will contain items (flashlight, washcloths, petroleum jelly, etc) for those that help care for dying aids patients. Many of these kits will be shipped to 3rd world countries, but will be used all over the world where aids assistance is needed.

We got new info about the kit assembly. For every 1 kit assembled in a hard orange case, there will be 4 kits assembled in drawstring backpacks. We are ordering 210 Caregiver Kits, so we would assemble 42 hard case kits and 68 drawstring kits, thus equipping 42 Caregivers for an entire year!

Also, our church family is being asked to seek God about sponsoring a child in Uganda (where there is an orphanage under Pastor John's ministry) whose parents have died of AIDS. To read the child's mini bio, and see their picture, and sign up for sponsorship, see a member of the Outreach team at the Welcome Center for the next few weeks.

Out of the 22 children that we have sponsorship info for, only 4 remain in need of sponsorship. A big thanks to those who have stepped up to show compassion to these children. Copies of pictures/bio and further instructions on payment method, when to start payments, etc. will be given to everyone at the end of this sponsorship process.

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
