Happiness vs. Joy, Spring Church Clean-up, Ecuador Mission Trip Meeting (Pastoral Emphasis for 4/7)

Good Friday & Easter are over but every Sunday, we should celebrate Christ's death on the Cross and resurrection from the dead.  We should live in light of the Cross. Only when we understand and trust what Christ did for us can we find lasting joy and stop chasing after circumstantial happiness.


Lasting Joy vs. Circumstantial Happiness from Albert Martin on Vimeo.

  • Happiness makes us smile; joy fills up our souls 
  • Happiness is laying on the beach; joy is knowing who made the waves 
  • Happiness is recognition of all you do; joy is being loved for who you are 
  • Happiness is drowning your sorrows for a moment; joy is letting it all go forever 
  • Happiness is in the moment; joy is a truth that lasts forever 
  • Happiness is fleeting; joy is eternal 
May we all rest in the joy that is only found in Jesus Christ!

Today's reading from the Chronological Reading Plan: Ruth 1-4

We are having our Church Spring Clean-up on 4/20 from 8am to noon. Mark your calendars and join us in being good stewards of our facilities.

After the service today, there was a meeting for all who are going to Ecuador this year and those who are still contemplating. If you missed this meeting, then contact Minister Lydia Amekuedi.

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
