Last Week of Collection Drive; Heaven, Hell, & the End of the World; Theological Seminar (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/11)

Today's reading from the Chronological Reading Plan: Jeremiah 14-17

This is the last week to bring in back to school supplies and toiletries for West Cary Middle School and the Home for Children in Oxford.  See each zone's requested items listed above the designated collection boxes and on the flyers available at the Welcome Center.  The collection drive will end on Saturday.

For Christians and non-Christians alike, the topics of heaven, hell, and the end of the world provoke curiosity, confusion, joy, hope, fear, anticipation, or even anger.  So what does the Bible say about these things?  We are starting a new Bible Study series, "Heaven, Hell, and the End of the World" on this Wednesday, August 14th, at 7:00pm. Join us and bring a friend for this exciting study.

Don't forget to register for our third quarterly theological seminar on Saturday, August 17th, from 9 to 11 am. Dr. Stephen Eccher, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, will be speaking on Church History. Come out, bring a friend, and learn how the church has developed over time into various denominations.

Latrell Perry shared a brief testimony of his time in Ecuador.  He shared how amazing it was that after the youth missionaries did their skits and dances, they could pray for the young Ecuadorians.  This is just more evidence that God can and will use youth! Latrell encouraged our other youth to considering going on a short-term mission trip.

When a need arose in the early church, they would meet that need even if they had to sell stuff.  That's how a church family should be.  We need each other.  We have a family in our church that is in need so the love offering on next Sunday will go to help this family.  Please come prepared to give generously to the love offering next Sunday.

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
