Theological Seminar Presentation, OCA Liaison, Rejoicing & Weeping on Mother's Day (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/8)

Did you miss our theological seminar on yesterday? We recorded it so you can go to our archives to watch and we have some extra copies of the presentation at the Welcome Center or I can email you a copy.

Thank you all who gave towards the love offering for Oak City Academy. Because of your generosity, we'll be able to donate $1,000 to their scholarship fund.  Sis. Staci Isaac is going to be our liaison with OCA.



Happy Mother's Day to all the moms.  Today is a day of rejoicing and weeping.  We rejoice with you as you celebrate.  But we also weep and mourn.  We weep with those who have lost their mother.  We weep with those who have lost children (some by miscarriages or abortion).  And even if you have aborted a baby, there is forgiveness in Christ.   Christ can remove your shame and guilt.  We weep with those who desire to have children but it has not happened yet.  Trust in the sovereignty of God and know that your self-worth and identity is not in motherhood but it is in Jesus Christ.  And for all you mothers who feel like you don't measure up, you don't have to be perfect, Christ was perfect for you. Relax, be free in Christ, and enjoy being a daughter of the Most High God.

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
