Remember Your Personal History, Fall Spruce Up Results (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/5)

Yesterday, during a conversation with my kids, my youngest said that she didn't like history (as a school subject).  I was never interested in history much either but I have learned that knowing history is important.  As it's been said "those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it".  The reality is that everything is history. The present is only the current second you're in. After it passes, that time is history.  Another reason history is important is because we must remember what God has done for us.  Don't forget your personal history with God!  Just as we remember that Columbus discovered America is 1492, we should remember when God discovered us!  Just as we remember that July 4, 1776 is the date of our nation's independence, we should remember the time when God set up free!  When I think about what the Lord has done for me (in history), it makes we wanna shout "Hallelujah"!

Thanks to all who came out yesterday for our Fall Spruce Up.  Over 40 people came out to clean the church which resulted in us saving approximately $2,400 (by not hiring a cleaning service).  By having our spring and fall spruce ups, we have saved about $22,000 to date!

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
