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.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
