Youth Day, JA Lewis Scholarship Recipients, VBS (Pastoral Emphasis for 6/11)


Today was our Youth Day service. Our youth led and participated in the service. Gabrielle Harris summarized Creation in Genesis 1, Noah Exum covered Man being made in the image of God in Genesis 2 and Nevaeh Sykes talked about the Fall and our hope in Christ in Genesis 3.

Congratulations to our High School graduates: Amare Oliver, Micah Jones, and Laurent Bracey, Jr.



I was pleased to announce this year's JA Lewis Scholarship recipients. The scholarship committee reviewed the submitted essays, and they were written in depth. Each recipient did well academically and has volunteered in school, church, and community activities. This year's recipients are:
  • 2nd Place winner ($500) - Micah Jones  
  • 1st Place winner ($1,000) - Amare Oliver  

VBS will be running from Wednesday, June 21st through Friday the 23rd, from 6PM to 9PM each night, coming together Sunday, June 25th, at 10am to wrap up our VBS weekend with a Church Family cookout following service. To each of our Mt. Zion families, please feel free to bring your favorite dessert to share at the cookout. Come dressed comfortably in your VBS t-shirts and jeans. Today (6/11) is the last day to order your t-shirt.
