From the Preaching Minister

WHOever missed Mt. Zion's ministry presentation "How
Christmas Saved The Grinch" this past Sunday Night
missed an awesome display of the true meaning of Christmas.
Even "Old Father Who" shared with us the meaning of "Christ
Mass."
Many have commented how they did not remember last year's
presentation being soooo good. They believed we changed the
script, songs & or staging...but we didn't...we merely tried
to improve upon what we already had and that in itself
should be the quest of every Christian in every situation.
The reason for the greatest difference however might be each
one of us doing more and more, and the best we can to
communicate God's love. Being on the same page for some time
now helps considerably as well. How pleased is our Lord when
brothers dwell together in unity.
For Mt. Zion to be a church that makes a difference, we must
continually strive to lift up the name of Jesus as in the
words of John the Baptist through the book of John, Chapter
3, and verse 30 "He must become greater, I must become
less."
Even today, the minds of Mt. Zion are at work, striving to
develop an Easter message which would again drive home the
real message of the story of resurrection. As with any other
time of the year, we cannot celebrate one visitation of God
without acknowledging the others as well as the all
exciting, all inviting, soon return of our redeemer, "Jesus
the Christ."
I wish to convey a great big "Thank You" to everyone who
helped with the play, those who practiced their parts, those
who constructed the scenery, those who foo-foo'd the props
and lights, those who memorized songs, places to stand,
motions to make, and attention to give. I am also thankful
for those who worked the spot lights, cameras, power point
projections, recordings...and revived old monitors. Why,
we're even thankful for ole man Dave Congleton alias MR.
SOUND!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I am very, very grateful for those unsung heroes who came
back out Monday night to help pack up the set. I truly
thought more would come out to help, especially after I
spoke of getting involved and how Mary, after hearing the
Angels announcement, walked a week's journey and stayed
three months to help with her relative Elizabeth's pregnancy
and delivery. But I am still grateful to those who came and
worked. It would have been easier with more hands and I am
sure many either forgot or had other things to do but I
believe eventually, in time...if time permits, we will all
discover that we cannot wait for everyone else to do the
work that is asked of each one individually. So here is
prior notice: We're doing an Easter Ministry Presentation
and will need Y O U |

(Youth
– Old &
Ung.) |

Thank You's also go out to Adam Grashel and Travis Bond
for cleaning the Baptistery and again filling it. They
worked hard to remove the boards from Mt. Crumpit and scrub
the baptistery until it was well cleaned. THANKS!!!!! P.S.
It's waiting for some of Y O U.
I also want to thank the Winchester Wal-Mart for donating
their powered shopping scooter for our use. Please convey
your thanks to Boyd Boling, our own Wal-Mart Pharmacist who
made the call for this much needed and enjoyed addition to
the performance. I know they cannot allow this "Out of the
store" type of temporary donation all of the time but please
voice your thanks (somewhat quietly) to those responsible.
I have never seen such wild hairdos in all of my life. Many
of you "Who Girls" and "Who Guys" really did a number on
your hair. WOW! Thanks for your time and ingenuity...how
that hair stood up so straight is just..."Over the Top."
Cory Soldwisch (The Grinch) might still be a bit green under
his gills so just smile and wave when you see him. Corey
Spencer (The Dog) is still barking but we are praying that
will end soon. And the Cat...ohhhh That Cat in The Hat
(Bruce Manley) He was quite an effect, he must have
practiced and practiced until his lines were PURRfect. Ha!
HA!
This Sunday I plan to continue with our series "Christmas
Keys", delving into key number 3 which is "Something To
Look Forward To." It will be taken from the account in
Matthew chapter one and is meant to be a sermon which looks
into Joseph's dreams and the message God sent to him.
While some might say we should not give too much attention
to these matters (and they might be a bit correct) I still
believe it is good for us to take a glimpse into a few
things we ourselves might be looking into at times and
finally realize how they just might be something we are
dabbling into without realizing the commands of God to steer
clear of such things. Just because God sent Joseph a dream,
don't lay in bed waiting on yours. Get up, wash your face
and come on out to Mt. Zion for some enlightening thoughts
straight from God's Holy Word.
P.S. Check out the sanctuary and look for a
couple of differences.
For the Cause of Christ,
Kenny |
