Police Survey, Twisted Too, Introducing MyHope Sunday (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/10)

Bereavement: Sis. Norma Winton's brother, Mario Anderson (uncle to Sis. Shenithia Griffin) passed away suddenly this past week. Mario's wife, Karla, was the one that invited our Worship Ministry to participate in Raleigh Winterfest about a year ago. Please be in prayer for the family during this time of loss. The homegoing service for Mario Anderson was held today at 3:00pm at Apex Funeral Home Chapel. The family asked me to officiate and bring the Word. I preached from John 14:1-6 on "Jesus is the way". There were non-believers present so they heard the Gospel. My prayer is that God's Word would find deep root in the soils of their heart.

Last week, we kicked off and laid the groundwork for our new Bible Study series, "The Promised One: Seeing Jesus in Genesis". Join us this Wednesday at 7:00pm as we look at seeing Jesus in creation.

Many of you know that I'm part of a group of pastors working with the Cary PD to improve relationship between the police and the African-American community. As a part of that, there's a survey in the bulletin that I'm asking everyone to fill out and return by the end of the month. You can submit your completed survey at the Welcome Center, church office, or in the offering baskets when offering is collected.

On 1/24, I'm starting a new sermon series, Twisted Too. We'll be looking at some more misused Scriptures. If you missed the first series, Twisted, you can check it out online, order the audio CDs or DVDs.



Today, we introduced our MyHope Outreach. We are asking all of our members to commit to inviting at least one unchurched person to join us at church on 3/20. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. So invite someone to to church on 3/20 and pray that God will save them. More details will be coming.

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
