May was a great month at Mt. Zion! Dr. R.B.Oullette and Dr. Mike Allison preached for us in the early part of the month. Many believers were at the altar followed by 8 receiving Christ in the 10 days that followed the services. Also, 13 surrendered to be trained to lead souls to Christ.
Evangelistically, Operation Saturation continued with the distribution of FREE CD messages on HOPE. We have CDs of the entire series on Hope to share with those facing special trials and challenges in their life right now. Jesus Christ can take away sin, save a soul, and give that person a fresh start. Terry and Wendy Davis just completed their third meeting of our new post high school Singles ministry.
Pastor Starr has been teaching a series in Sunday School on Faithful Men and on Wednesday nights on The Prayers of Jesus Christ. Also, in May, Pastor Starr, his wife, Shirley and Butch and Beverly Robinson visited our missionaries to Germany, Clint & Susan Robinson.

In a day when churches nationwide are in a state of flux, giving-in to new philosophy’s of purpose-driven ministry and changing doctrines, Mt. Zion Baptist Church stands and faces the wind to remain the way we have always been—“Church, the way it used to be.” We stress solid Bible preaching and teaching, emphasize individual and family living for Christ, focus on reaching out to our community and the world with the Gospel, and try to guard against the influx of worldliness into the church. If you are looking for this kind of church, do something about it. Serving Christ can be fresh and exciting again. Come and worship with us this Sunday.
