5^th District Consecration Revival will be held tonight at 7pm at Simpson Road Baptist Church, where the Rev. Charles Weems is Pastor.

The Media Ministry Lunch and Learn Tutorial will be held tomorrow at 1:00pm. Again, please bring your laptop, computer, tablet, or other device. We want to ensure all members are familiar with accessing Zoom, and Facebook to watch and participate in the Church’s Worship Services, Teachings, and other Church-wide events.

Sunday is Youth Sunday. The Youth will rehearse tomorrow in preparation for Youth Sunday and Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Observance. Our Youth Day Speaker is Brother Ryan Bright.

Parents and Grandparents, God commands us to “Train up our children” in the way that they should go and when they are old, they won’t depart from it. The Youth Coordinators and Teachers are spending lots of time preparing for Youth Sundays and providing the biblical training for them weekly, but we need your child and/or children.

Let us continue to keep the Collins, Haynes, Slaton, Dixon, Carroll, and other bereaved families in our prayers. Let us keep Deacon Williams, Brother Edwards, other sick members convalescing at home and in Nursing Homes, and one another in our prayers.

I love you Mt. Zion and may God bless you all.
