Pray for Typhoon Victims, Prayer Walk at NLM, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/17)

Today's reading from the Chronological Reading Plan: Acts 4-6

Many of you have heard about the devastating typhoon that hit the Philippines last week. The death toll has topped 3,600. We are finalizing which organization that we can donate to.  Please pray and stay tuned for information on how we will be helping those affected.

As a church family, I'm asking that we all read David Platt's latest book, "Follow Me". This is the book every believer should read to truly understand what does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. LifeWay has the book on sale for $9.99 (a little bit cheaper than Amazon).

On Saturday morning, 11/23, Mt. Zion will be partnering with Mosaic Church to distribute food baskets to local families in need. We are asking members to contribute items for the food baskets ($10 grocery store gift card, can of corn, can of green beans, box of jiffy cornbread mix, stuffing, gravy, can of cranberries, package of mashed potatoes.). We also need volunteers to assemble and distribute the food baskets.  Sign up online.

On Saturday afternoon, we're doing a prayer walk in the neighborhood of New Life Ministries at 2pm. At the end of the service today, we commissioned Elder and Minister Cody for their new church.

We will have a special Elder-led Prayer on Tuesday, 11/26, from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. We will spend the hour praying for the lost (in our families, jobs, community). Write down the names of unbelievers that you know and join us for this special time of prayer. If you can't make it, submit those names in the prayer request box at the Welcome Center or use our prayer request form on our website.

Next Sunday, I'm starting a new series called "God Became Flesh: The Glory of the Incarnation".  Join us and bring a friend as we more about the Doctrine of the Incarnation.
