Watch Seminar Online, Choir from ECSU, Pray for Church in Egypt (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/18)

Today's reading from the Chronological Reading Plan: Jeremiah 38-40; Psalm 74,79

We had an excellent Theological Seminar yesterday on church history.  If you missed it, I would recommend that you watch the video online in the archives of Zion Live. Or you could order a DVD.

We had a great start to our Bible Study series, "Heaven, Hell, and the End of the World".  If you've ever wondered what happens to people immediately after death, this topic of the Immediate State will be covered this Wednesday at 7:00pm. Join us and bring a friend for this exciting study.

The Missions Ministry and Zone 3 members will ministering at Chatham Commons Assisted Living today at 2pm. The Male Choir will be conducting a mini-concert. Everyone is welcome to attend.

We have a treat for you next Sunday…the Billy C. Hines Chamber Singers & Chorale from Elizabeth City State University will be here to lead us in praise and worship.

Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Egypt!  Due to the political turmoil there, there have been unprecedented attacks against Christians.  At least 32 churches had been "completely destroyed, burned or looted" in eight different governorates over a two day period. There have also been dozens of other attacks on Christian-owned shops, businesses and schools around the country.  Matt. 5:10 says, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven".  Pray that the current violence will end soon, the effective rule of law and order will be re-established for the benefit of all citizens, and that there will be effective protection of church and other property against attacks by extremists.

Just a reminder that today's love offering is going to help one of our families in need.  Thank you for your generous giving.
