Church Family Meeting, Ecuador Testimonies, Speaking Engagement (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/29)

The Church Family Meeting is tomorrow at 7pm. All members are asked to be present to get a critical update on our current financial situation.

We had Ecuador Testimonies from Deacon Darby (University Team), Minister Coppage (Construction Team), and my wife, Anita Harris (Community Evangelism).  We look forward to also hearing from our first teen to take a mission trip, Bro. Derrick Wiggins, who was also on a Community Evangelism Team.

For myself, I was on the prison team again this year.  For the event that I shared, you can watch this video blog post that I made while still in Ecuador.

Next Sunday I'll be out again but just down Evans road at Cary First Christian Church. I'll be speaking for their Homecoming Service at 10:30am.  Your prayers are appreciated.

Another thing that really impressed me from the Ecuador trip was the generosity of the people.  One day as we were out in a community, a family gave us plates of food.  It's amazing to see that those who have very little tend to be more generous than those who have much. I pray that we who live in the wealthiest nation of the world will be thankful for what we have and use our resources to help others and glorify God.

Again, your consistent and generous giving is important especially during the summer months. Please take advantage of online giving especially when you are traveling. If our members can continue to give at least 5% or more above your normal giving, it will help us meet our budget. Thanks to all who sacrificed to give more.

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
