My Hope Sunday, Renewal Service, Brown Bag Ministry (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/9)

My Hope Sunday was great! God was praised, the Gospel was preached, and people fellowshipped. The topic was "Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?" coming from Luke 13:1-5. But the reality is that there are no "good" people. We are all "bad" (i.e. sinners) who need a Savior. The only good person is Jesus. Jesus died for our sins and rose for our victory. When bad things happen, it should cause us to repent and trust in Jesus. Now may the Holy Spirit cause the seed of God's Word to grow in those who heard it!

A big shout-out to the only food truck that came after the service: Apex Peak Bar-B-Que!! The food is always great!

We are having a one-night Renewal Service on this Wednesday, October 12th, at 7:00pm. Dr. Leonzo Lynch, Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Charlotte, will be the guest speaker. Everyone is invited to join us for this special service.

Please join the Children's Ministry as they serve at the Brown Bag Ministry on Saturday, October 15th to prepare and serve bag lunches to the homeless in Raleigh.

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
