Election Reflection, Pray for Downing Family, Fall Spuce Up (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/13)

Let me address the recent election: God's sovereignty is not something you only claim when things go your way...God is also sovereign when events happen that you don't like or agree with. And I see too many Christians attacking and belittling either Trump or those who support him, claiming they're just returning what people did to Obama. But Christians are not to return evil for evil! We overcome evil with good. Besides we have too much Kingdom work to do. Living under President Trump is NOT the worst thing that can happen. You know what is? Dying without Jesus!

Thanks to all who were able to come out the home-going celebration for Sis. Claudette VanFoote. Please continue to pray for the family.

Some of you have heard that Bro. Dominick Downing was involved in a tragic car accident on early Friday morning where he lost both of his legs and his cousin died. Please keep Dominick, Sis. Tracy Dunn (Dominick's mom), and the entire Downing family in your prayers.

Please join us for our Fall Spruce up on 11/19 from 9am to 12pm. Any time that you can donate (30 minutes to a couple of hours) will be greatly appreciated as we work to keep our church clean.

Last Friday was Veterans Day and we give honor to all of our veterans who have served our country.

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

One Life Saved

The Bible declares that all life is valuable. "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well" (Psalm 139:13-14). Here's the story of one life saved....
