New Members, Virtual Prayer Rally, Happy Valentine's Day (Pastoral Emphasis for 2/13)

Welcome to our newest members who have completed New Members Orientation: Rick and Maureen Holland!

Do you struggle with your prayer life? Do you want to move to the right with how to pray? One of the benefits of corporate prayer is that disciples believers in prayer. Join us for an hour of corporate prayer at our next Virtual Prayer Rally on Tuesday, 2/15 at 7:00 pm. If you cannot attend, please submit your prayer requests online

Our next Theological Seminar will be a special one dealing with grief. On Saturday, 2/26 we're having a Growing thru Grief seminar. Sessions will include “Defining Grief”, “How to Mourn and Expressing it with Others”, and “Hope, Healing, and Sharing Grief”. Our speaker will be Dr. Jamie Mitchell. The seminar will be both in-person and virtual. One change regarding virtual is that the seminar will NOT be on WebEx but streamed on Zion Live, Facebook, and YouTube. Invite someone who you think would benefit from this seminar dealing with various kinds of loss. 

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. Regardless of whether you are boo'd or not, I want to remind you that you are loved...especially by God. You are not defined by your relationship status. So Happy Valentine’s Day. 



So apparently there's a football game today. I don't keep up with football but in honor of Leviticus, I'm hoping the Rams get offered up!
