Bereavements, Stay Warm Drive, Share the Wounded Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 12/16)

Even though this is a joyous time of the year, let's not forget that this season can be tough for many people especially those who have recently lost loved ones. Let's be in prayer for the following who are grieving the recent loss of a loved one:

Deaconess Susan Fortenberry – loss of sister
Bro. Ellery Oliver – loss of grandfather
Bro. Travis Anderson – loss of grandmother

Thanks for your donations to the Devoted Disciples' coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and socks "Stay Warm" drive. We were able to donate from the drive to the Holiday Extravaganza that will go to help people in Wilmington, NC who were affected by the hurricane. But you can continue to bring your donations until December 23rd which will go to help people in our local area.

Today, we concluded our Wounded series by addressing how the Gospel heals those wounded by sexual assault. My prayer is that God would use this series to help people start their journey towards healing and a healthy sexuality that honors God. If you know of anyone who would benefit from the series, please let them know that they can order the series or watch online from the archives on Zion Live. Again, here are the dates for the messages of the series:

11/18 – Don't Misuse God's Gift of Sex (How the Gospel heals those sexually wounded by fornication & adultery)
11/25 – The Dangers of Marriage Without Sex (How the Gospel heals those sexually wounded by sexless marriages)
12/02 – Keep Your Eyes Pure (How the Gospel heals those sexually wounded by pornography)
12/09 – BONUS: Overcoming Sexual Temptation
12/16 – Grace For Your Disgrace (How the Gospel heals those sexually wounded by assault & rape)
