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.

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
