Please Help Support Our Missionaries

Mt. Zion has a covenant relationship with Nan McCurdy and her husband Miguel Mairena in Nicaragua, and with Suzanne Porter in Liberia. Nan and Miguel work with the "Women in Community" organization which helps, empowers, and advocates for women and their needs in rural Nicaragua. Suzanne works in the school of nursing at the Ganta Medical Complex in Liberia. In case you missed the opportunity to contribute last week, Please consider supporting their vital work. We are hoping to increase our level of support, as we haven't done so in at least five years.

Sandwiches Being Made for the Homeless in the Fellowship Hall

Every second Sunday of the month, sandwiches are made from 9:30 to 10:30 am for the homeless of the DC area. Our monthly goal is to make at least 1,200 sandwiches which are taken to a distribution center in DC. All are welcome to come and help make sandwiches.

What is that Logo on the Cover?

The logo is a reminder of the Discipleship Adventure the Baltimore-Washington Conference began in 2005. The logo uses red as the dominate color, signifying the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. The circular nature shows movement and energy, both elements of, and results from, the Adventure. The open segment hints at both the inclusiveness of the Adventure as well as being an entry point for the Holy Spirit to break in. It also suggests that the Discipleship Adventure is never complete; the Adventure creates disciples who go deeper, further and wider in their faith. The white lines starting at the base of the logo and moving upwards in an arc are five in number, representing the five elements of the Discipleship Adventure: faithful celebration, faithful connection, faith development, faithful service, and faith sharing.

Want to Help with Sunday School?

But don't want a weekly commitment? Starting this fall: Sunday School Teams! Using teams will enable adults to teach just once or twice a month on a fixed schedule. WE STILL NEED TEACHERS! Please prayerfully consider this as your Mt. Zion ministry. We can't have Sunday School without our leaders. Contact Jena Meredith if you have any questions at jenameredith@hotmail.com.
