Prayer Requests, Church Family Meeting, Speaking at Trinity Park Church (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/30)

Please keep the following individuals in your prayers who are dealing with health-related problems:

John Thorne – at home recovering from a heart issue
Joselyn Cepeda – dealing with health issues
Van Johnson – at home recovering from surgery
Lou Eldridge – at home recovering from surgery
Mother Roxie Barnett – dealing with a lot of pain; desiring to be with the Lord

Please pray for the following members who have bereavements:

Mary Higginbotham (the passing of her son)
Rasheeda Oliver (the passing of her aunt)
Aprile King (the passing of her younger sister)

We had our last Church Family Meeting for the year right after the service today. Here are a few highlighted items from the meeting:

We're making a change to Foundation Fellowship in ‘23. Since it seems people enjoy the times that we break out into separate Men and Women's classes, we'll be having separate classes for two months and then combined for two months. So we'll have separate classes for January and February and then combined classes for March and April and so forth.
Evangelist Patrick Wilson will be stepping down as the Ministry Director since he's not able to devote the time to it like he desires due to schedule and personal issues. I'm happy to announce that Minister Kevin Coppage will be taking over as Ministry Director.
One of the things that came out of the From the Womb to the Tomb discussion is that Mt. Zion wants to be a safe place for people to get help. If you are facing any type of life issue like divorce, unwanted pregnancy, health issues, or having to make a decision about the care of an ill family member, we want you to feel okay to come to the church for support and help. One of the easy ways for us to support you is to resume having someone available in the Prayer Room (next to the Media Room) after the service to pray with anyone who wants it.

Next Sunday, I will be speaking at Trinity Park Church for their morning service. Please pray that I would serve them well with the Word of God. The Jesus is Better series will continue at Mt. Zion next Sunday.

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...
