Helping Hurricane Victims, Prayer 2018, My Hope Sunday (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/23)

I hate that I missed church today due to not feeling well but I was able to worship a bit via Zion Live. Big thanks to Elder Wayne Bullock for covering pastoral emphasis and baptism for me and Minister Brandi Hancock for bringing a wonderful word on "There is a Cost when You Carry the Cross" from Phil. 3:8-9.

We are currently looking into ways that we can help and serve those who have been affected by Hurricane Florence. We'll probably start collecting items this week for donations. I'm happy to see that some of you have already started helping in your own way. In fact, Elder Sean Cherry is in Wilmington now volunteering through the Baptists On Mission organization. Let's continue to pray for those affected by the storm.

Don't forget to sign-up for PRAYER 2018 on 10/2, from 7 pm to 9 pm at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. PRAYER 2018 is a city-wide prayer rally where over 100 churches will gather to worship and pray together. Mt. Zion has 24 seats reserved. Sign-up online.

Our next My Hope Sunday is 10/14. All of our members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever or unchurched person to join us at church on 10/14. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. So start thinking about who you will invite to My Hope Sunday and pray that they would come and God will save them. In preparation for My Hope, we'll be having testimonies from members about their hope in Jesus.

Today, Bro. George Richards shared his testimony about how God not only saved his soul but his life from gangs, drugs, and all the rebellion he had done in his youth. He is know thankful to have a job, landscaping business, godly wife, children, and grandchildren.

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
