Joshua Sermon Series Break, Bible Bowl II Champs, Church Family Meeting (Pastoral Emphasis for 4/28)

We're taking a break from Joshua and will resume on June 2. This will allow me to take a little rest and prep for the next part of the series. I look forward to hearing from some of our ministers in May.

 

Congrats to the T2+1 team for winning our Bible Bowl II:

(From L to R: Jae Smith, Cynthia Aldridge, Janae Branch, and Tammy Lackey)
 

Today, we had our 2Q Church Family Meeting. A couple of things that were covered...

  • The Family Fun Day that was originally planned for today has been moved to June as part of the conclusion of VBS. It is now a Community and Family Fun Day. 
  • We are working on finalizing the policy and get training to deal with domestic abuse. On Friday, we had a representative from Called to Peace Ministries to do some initial training for our leadership and tell us about the ministry. Called to Peace Ministries, located in Wake Forest, exists to provide a compassionate, comprehensive, and Christ-centered response to those impacted by Domestic Abuse. Their twofold mission is: 1) to provide advocacy, support groups, and practical assistance to individuals affected by domestic abuse and 2) to help churches and other organizations better respond to these issues through education and mentoring. We are looking to call them provide their Protect the Flock training to the wider church. We are also looking for them to partner with us to help us finalize our DA policy, develop our procedures, and create a crisis response team.

Even though we don't have a formal dress code at church, I think we have an unspoken one. Our guest may perceive a dress code based on what they see on the stage from leadership. So in order to remove any barriers that might prevent some from visiting us or feeling comfortable in our service, the leadership will dress a little more casual. We will try this out until the end of the year and then evaluate. So don't be surprised when you see me not wearing a tie! I shared the following email that we got via our website to show that we are spreading the Gospel worldwide. To God be the glory! Greetings Mt. 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
