Sis. VanFoote's My Hope Testimony, Love Offering for LA Flood Victims (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/4)

Prayer 2016 is a triangle-wide gathering of churches for the purpose of worship and prayer. It will be held on 9/20 from 7-9pm at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. You can register online.

My Hope Sunday is 10/9. All members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever/unchurched person to attend church with you. Confirmation cards are now available. We will collect them on September 25. Think about who you will invite and start praying for them.

Sis. Claudette VanFoote, who is battling cancer, shared her testimony. Although the doctors are no longer giving her treatment and have called in hospice, her hope is in Jesus. She is still here and trusting in Jesus. I commented that Sis. VanFoote has been more faithful in her church attendance than many who are perfectly healthy. In these four years of her having cancer, I have not heard her complain once! False teachers say that to be blessed is to be healthy and wealthy. But Sis. VanFoote is a true example of being blessed. Despite her cancer, she is faithfully clinging to Christ. That is the true blessing.



Happy Birthday & Anniversary to those who are celebrating this month!

Reminder: Next Sunday, 9/11, our love offering will be going to help the Louisiana flood victims. The flood has been called the worst US natural disaster since Hurricane Sandy in 2012. We are looking to donate to the Southern Baptist Convention Disaster Relief, who are delivering clean, safe water, meals, and the love of Christ as they seek to advance the gospel. If you're ready to give before next Sunday, please make a note indicating it's for the flood.

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
