Going Deep with God in Depression, 2017 Church Theme, Holiday Schedule (Pastoral Emphasis for 12/18)

On last Sunday, we praise God for the two individuals who rededicated their lives, the two young ladies who trusted in Christ, and Sis. Danielle Downing who joined the church. Today, we also praise God for the young lady (13 years old) who was baptized.  All Glory to God!

The Christmas season is not joyous for many people especially for some who struggle with depression. During the time, suicides increase. For some, depression can be triggered by a change in season. Even believers can suffer with depression. I want to offer some encouragement with this interview with Christian author, Randy Alcorn about Going Deep with God in Depression.

For additional resources, check out my sermon series on depression, Gospel Light in Deep Darkness. You can order the messages online or watch it from the archives on our website (end of August-September timeframe).

Our 2017 Church Theme is "Make Disciples: Helping Others To Follow Jesus". We will be focusing on strengthening your walk with Jesus and equipping you to share your faith and how to disciple others. For Bible Study, we will be using DisciplesPath, The Journey, a one-year intentional plan for discipleship. You will not want to miss it. Also, beginning in February, the lady's will have their own Women's Sunday School class on first Sundays.



Reminder: CFCFC is having their annual Christmas musical entitled, "A Very Jazzy Christmas – an evening of live jazz" today at 6:00 PM at the Herb Young Community Center.

Don't forgot our upcoming holiday schedule:
  • On Christmas, we'll be moving our service to 8am, and we'll end around 9:30am.
  • There will be no Elder-led Prayer or Bible Study on 12/28 
  • On 12/31, our New Year's Eve service starts at 10pm. After midnight, we'll celebrate the Lord's Supper. And we won't have our normal 10am service on New Year's Day.
Thanks to Sis. Karen Gray for providing some Christmas treats, cookies & brownies, after service today.

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
