Bereavement, 150th Anniversary Week is Here, Prayer 2015 (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/13)

With sadness, I announce that our former minister, James Wheeler, passed away and was buried on Saturday. Before moving away, Minister Wheeler played an important part of our ministry at Mt. Zion as a minister, singer in the Male Chorus, and Sunday School teacher. He will be fondly remembered. Please pray for the Wheeler family.

Congrats to the newlyweds, Caesar and Nicole Boone who were married on Saturday.

We are reading through the Bible as a church family this year. We're following the 52 week reading plan. We are on week 37.

Our Anniversary Week is here! Here's what's happening this week...

• Old Fashioned Revival – 9/16 starting with Hors d'oeuvre at 6pm and the service at 7pm. Pastor Larry Snead will be our speaker.
• Anniversary Play – 9/18 at 7:00pm.
• Anniversary Gala – 9/19 at 7pm. Sunday was the last day to purchase a ticket.
• On Sunday, 9/20, Pastor James White will be our guest speaker to celebrate my 13th pastoral anniversary.

Mark your calendars for this year's Prayer 2015, the area-wide prayer rally will be held at Memorial Auditorium, Raleigh, on Tuesday, October 6th, from 7 to 9pm. The event will be led by a group of area pastors, with many different churches across denominations and ethnicities participating. Mt. Zion has 25 reserved seats available. You may sign up online if you would like to participate. Contact Sis. Sandra Broadwater for questions.

Speaking of prayer, we've moved the prayer request box to the small desk at the back of the sanctuary (on the right side as you leave) hopefully for ease of access. So feel free to drop off any prayer requests and we'll pray for you.
