Hurricane Harvey, Homeless Outreach, My Hope (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/3)


We all know about the devastating impact of Hurricane Harvey. Harvey is the wettest tropical cyclone on record in the contiguous United States. Harvey has flooded hundreds of thousands of homes, displaced more than 30,000 people, and prompted more than 17,000 rescues. Texas, particularly Houston, has been impacted the most. We should definitely be praying for those affected. We will also be giving. In a couple of weeks, we'll raise a love offering to help those in need. We're currently investigating a trustworthy ministry to donate to.

Join us for our Discipleship Journey at Bible Study. On Wednesday at 7pm, we'll look at what it means to die with Christ. If we're going to follow Jesus, we must die to self.

The Devoted Disciples, our youth ministry, are preparing to train people on scarf making on 9/16 at 1 pm. The scarves will be donated to the homeless. If you are interested in participating in this outreach, please contact Miss. Olivia Sallis or Deaconess Tracy Dunn.

Our next My Hope Sunday is 10/8. All of our members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever or unchurched person to join us at church. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. As My Hope Sunday approaches, we'll have testimonies from individuals about their hope in Christ. Sis. Betty Liverman shared how her faith in Jesus helped her when a disappointment caused hate and unforgiveness to creep into her heart.

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
