Theological Seminar, Ash Wednesday, Church-wide Fasting (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/11)

While we are positionally holy when we are justified by God, we know that we still sin. Therefore, we need to be progressively made holy. This is what sanctification means. To "sanctify" is to make a person holy. To "sanctify" is to set a person apart for special use. Join us for our upcoming theological seminar on Saturday, February 24th, from 9 am to 11:15 am. Dr. John Hammett from SEBTS will be teaching on "The Doctrine of Sanctification". Come out and learn about this important doctrine. Light refreshments will be served. Please register for the seminar online.


This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday which is the start of Lent season.  We will be anointing with ashes after Bible Study around 8pm.  We anoint with ashes as a symbol of our mourning and repentance over sin.  If you'd like to be anointed with ashes but cannot make it that evening, you can come to the church between 11am and 1pm to be anointed with ashes.

Again, we're calling for a church-wide fast during Lent.  You can do a partial fast where you will give up certain foods, drinks, or activities.  Lent is 40 days beginning on Ash Wednesday and will end on Easter Sunday, April 1st, but does not count Sundays.

Thanks to the parents, teachers, and members who stayed for the information meeting regarding the Children's & Youth Ministries changes.  We're really looking forward to improving how we teach and disciple our children and youth.

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
