VBS, Habakkuk Sermon Series, Mental Health Awareness (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/21)

Vacation Bible School will be 6/21-23, 6:30-8:30pm (nightly with dinner) and then wrap up on Sunday, 6/25. The theme is about being Change Makers. There will be music, Bible trivia, art, evangelism, and drama. VBS is for the whole family. Registration is open now. 

 


 

Habakkuk Sermon Series Next Sunday, we’re starting a new sermon series in Habakkuk called Faith in Confusing Times. Just like Habakkuk, we live in a time of chaos and injustice. And just like Habakkuk, we may wonder why God seems to not be doing anything about it. Join us for this series about having faith when life doesn’t make sense. 

 

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. We need to break the stigma in the church. This week will be on promoting acceptance and compassion surrounding mental illness. Language matters; let’s work together to avoid derogatory terms. The language we use to talk about mental health can either perpetuate prejudice and discrimination or promote acceptance and compassion. When it comes to mental health, words matter. It is up to each of us to be a lifeline, sharing in a commitment to care for ourselves and those around us. When we use open and compassionate language around mental health issues, we empower ourselves and encourage others to find the help they need.

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
