October Birthdays & Anniversaries, Theological Seminar, Joint Worship & Prayer (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/3)

We praise God for James Thorpe who has trusted Christ as his personal Savior and is joining the church.

Happy Birthday to all the October babies:






Happy Anniversary to all the October couples including my wife and I who are celebrating our 23rd anniversary!




Our Senior Birthday Surprise for this month is Sis. Mary Higginbotham!

REMINDER: If you have not done so yet, please take a few minutes to fill out the discipleship survey that was sent out on Realm. The survey will end on October 10. 

Did you know that Christianity was NOT first introduced to Africans during slavery? Did you know that Christianity was growing in Africa before it was ever growing in Europe? Did you know that the doctrine of the Trinity was significantly developed by an African church father? If not, then you'll want to join us for our next Theological Seminar on 10/16 at 9am featuring Pastor Jerome Gay, Jr. who will be presenting on: "The Whitewashing of Christianity: A Hidden Past, A Hurtful Present, and A Hopeful Future". The seminar will be both in person and virtual on Webex.

On Tuesday, Oct. 5th, Mt. Zion and Trinity Park Church will come together for a night of worship and prayer. The service will be held outdoors at Trinity Park. Everyone is invited to join us for this special night.

My Hope is next Sunday, October 10. We're asking all members to invite at least one person (a non-believer or unchurched person) to church either in person or virtually. People submitted the names of those they are invited and we prayed over them that God would save them.

In preparation for My Hope Sunday, we heard a testimony from a former member, Sis. Catherine Hankins.

Thank you all for your prayers, cards, texts, calls after the passing of my mom. The Lord allowed me to say my final goodbye to my mom and encourage her to go be with Jesus before she passed.  Her homegoing service will be on 10/9 in Michigan so I will miss My Hope Sunday but the Gospel will still go forward. We'll resume our Philippians sermon series on 10/17.

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
