My Hope is in Jesus, Easter Week Activities, Elder-led Prayer (Pastoral Emphasis on 3/20)


Today was our My Hope Sunday and the church was full with our members and guests.  The focus was to make sure the Gospel was presently clearly throughout the service.  My sermon topic was "My Hope is in Jesus".  And God answered our prayers and moved mightily in the hearts of many.  Several people came forward, some to join, rededicate their life back to Christ, and to trust in Christ for salvation!  We also celebrated as young Darius (age 9) was baptized.  It was truly a great day in the Lord!





This is a significant week for us as Christians. This marks the defining events that make Christianity unique.
  • Today is Palm Sunday where we remember Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The crowd spread their cloaks and palm branches on the road and sang "Hosanna" as Jesus rode into Jerusalem.  Hosanna means "save now".
  • This week Jesus was betrayed by a disciple and falsely arrested. 
  • On Friday, we celebrate Good Friday where Jesus is crucified. We will have a Good Friday service from 6:30-7:30pm. 
  • On Saturday, we'll have our Easter Egg Hunt at 2pm. Then at 3pm is our Easter program featuring our youth. 
  • On next Sunday, we will have our Sunrise Easter program at 6am, where we will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. We will also celebrate the Lord's Supper and following the service, we'll fellowship over breakfast. 
Also, the next Elder-led Prayer will be held on this Wednesday from 6 to 7pm. Everyone is invited to join us as we focus on specific prayer needs. If you are not able to attend but have prayer requests, you can submit them online.

I'm excited to announce that Minister Gerald Vinson and Theresa Banks (sorry, I said Theresa Edwards at church) will be getting married on April 3 right after church.

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
