Beloved, Sunday was a joyful time to be in the House of the Lord. It was a time of bittersweet transition along with the ushering in of a new season with the music ministry. We had many visitors, some previous and some first time. We had some previous members return after long absences. The Spirit was high and God truly blessed. It was a good time to be with the Zion Memorial Missionary Baptist Church Family. As I looked out over the congregation and thought about the wo

Church Family, I attended an event at Union Baptist related to improving the educational outcomes for our youth. As a result, a city-wide tutorial effort in conjunction with the churches is being planned. While Zion is undertaking our own efforts, this is an opportunity to partner with others for the betterment of more of Winston-Salem’s children, particularly those in underperforming schools.

My Zion Memorial Church Family, What a wonderful start we have had to 2020. It was such a blessing to have great attendance at church conference to share how God has blessed us over the past year and see the ways in which we are purposing to continue our blessings into 2020. 2019 was not easy but it was a blessing.
