My Hope Sunday: Invite, Pray, Follow-up (My Pastoral Emphasis for 3/13)

Let's welcome Eric and Danielle Mtika who joined Mt. Zion on Christian Experience!

Don't forget: We have a single mom that needs clothing items for a 24 month old toddler boy. He has outgrown his clothes. He wears 2T clothes and size 5 diapers. Gently used items will be welcomed. Also, gift cards are needed to get diapers. We have a box set up in the church near the Welcome Center for one more week.

My Hope Sunday is next Sunday, 3/20. This is the Sunday we've invited those we know who are either unbelievers or unchurched to attend church with us. This week, please follow-up with those whom you have invited to encourage them to come. Let them know that they don't have to get dressed up or be expected to give any money. We just want them to come so they can hear the Gospel. Please pray this week that God would move mightily in the hearts of those we invited!

We have follow-up material available for download from the church website (called Your New Life in Christ) that you can use to start discipling the people you invited if they get saved.

We're going to reschedule the VBS and India Mission Trip Interest Meeting that's currently scheduled for My Hope Sunday right after church. The focus for My Hope Sunday is to share the Gospel with our guests. We don’t want to have them at our service and then leave them to immediately go into ministry meetings. We can do that at another time. We want to engage our guests in fellowship and maybe conversations over lunch.

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
