Ash Wednesday, Moving Mulch (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/19)

This afternoon, Sis. Angela Cody delivered her Initial Sermon. Thanks to all who joined us for this special occasion!

This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday. We will anoint everyone with ashes (as sign of mourning and repentance over sin) right after Bible Study. Ash Wednesday is also the beginning of Lent (40 day fast until Easter Sunday). We do a partial fast by giving up something. In light of our Make War series, I recommend that we should give up something that may be feeding our sinful desires. Sometimes non-sinful things can be sinful for us. We may need to limit the practice of these things (by fasting from them) so they do not become weights that hinder us.

Don't forget to pick up your Giving Statements at the Welcome Center for your taxes.

We are calling all men to help us on Saturday starting at 8am to put down mulch. Help us keep our church grounds looking good.

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
