Florida School Shooting, Movie Night, Theological Seminar (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/18)

Tragically, we have another school shooting, this time in Florida were 17 were killed. We should mourn with those who have lost loved ones. When shootings like this continue to occur, people often ask "where was God?" Tragedies like this happen to remind us that things are not like they should be. We live in a fallen world due to sin. God allows tragedies so that people would repent and turn to Him. One day Jesus will return and set everything right. In the meantime, we must pray, spread the Gospel, make disciples, and love our neighbors.

Lent has started which is 40 days (not counting Sundays) that began on Ash Wednesday and will end on Easter Sunday, April 1st. For Lent, we're calling for a church-wide partial fast where you give up certain foods, drinks, or activities. Fasting is a way of disciplining ourselves to say that Jesus is better than whatever we're giving up. In addition to fasting, we should be praying. And we have much to pray for.

The Young Adults Ministry will be hosting a movie night for all married and non-married couples on on Friday, February 23 starting at 7 pm at the church. The last day to sign up is today after the service. If they have any questions that can contact Sis. Janelle Wallace.

Please register online for our next FREE Theological Seminar on "The Doctrine of Sanctification". We are declared holy when we are justified by God, but because we still sin, we need to be progressively made holy. That's sanctification. The seminar is Saturday, February 24th, from 9:00am to 11:15am featuring Dr. John Hammett from SEBTS. Come out and learn about this important doctrine. Light refreshments will be served.

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.
