Bereavements, First Church Family Meeting, Ordination Service (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/31)

There are several families at Mt. Zion currently experiencing bereavements.  Please pray for the following members:
  • Deaconess Rhonda Spivey's father (who was a pastor) died on Friday night 
  • Deaconess Tasha Smith (loss of an aunt) 
  • Sis. Brenda Tyrance (loss of grandbaby) 
  • Evangelist Tayon Dancy (loss of cousin) 
Join us again this Wednesday at 7:00pm for our Bible Study series, "The Promised One: Seeing Jesus in Genesis". This week, we'll look at seeing Jesus in the Tower of Babel.

We held our first Church Family Meeting for the year right after the service today. We shared important info on 2016 ministry goals, last year's finances, an update to our Constitution and By-Laws, and a statement from the elders on the importance of regular church attendance.

At 4pm, we had an Ordination Service to ordain an Elder Sean Cherry and Deacons Tim Thompson, Henri Spivey, and Corey Smith. Pastor Daryl Cody, New Life Ministries of Apex, preached the ordination message on "A Few Good Men" from Rev. 3:11.  Pastor Cody encouraged the ordination candidates to hold fast to their beliefs, character, and teaching of the Gospel. Thanks to all on came out to support these brothers in their ministry. 

My Hope Sunday is 3/20. We are asking all members to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever/unchurched person to attend church with you. Sis. Phyllis Lewis shared how her hope in Christ helped her through a financial crisis.

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
