Church Family News - Drive-By on July 11th and Reopening on July 12th - journeychristians@gmail.com - Gmail I wanted to let you know that I will not be able to conduct the church conference call tomorrow at 1pm as I have a conflict. I will, as I am sure you will, miss our connecting; but, I do look forward to our connecting for Noonday Prayer on Wednesday.

Beloved, First, I hope and pray my message finds you well during this time. God is still watching over us as we deal with the birthing of a new season of life in the transitions related to COVID-19, continuous challenges in the global economy, protests against the sins of discrimination in their many forms, in particular against women and people of color, and black people, specifically. These days give us reason to know the truth in the phrase, "There is always something to

Church family, In an effort to help keep us all safe during this time, I wanted to share the attachment regarding COVID-19 testing. I am praying we will all continue to be safe, healthy and wise. Be blessed, Rev. Cain

My Dear Zion Memorial Church Family, As I type out these words, I am looking outside and thanking God for the gloomy skies that are full of the possibility of rain, as evidenced by what we have received over the last couple of days. You see in the rain, rain that might disrupt your plans to be out and about, we also have that woefully needed water for our lawns, crops, rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. The inconvenience makes our lives possible. For, without the rain, we w

Beloved, We will celebrate the homegoing of Sister Lula West in the following ways: 1. There will be a viewing tomorrow at Douthit Funeral Home located at 515 Specialty Park Drive from 2pm-5pm. 2. There will be a viewing prior to the homegoing service at Zion Memorial at approximately 11:30am on Thursday morning.

Beloved, Although we are not able to see each other right now as we have taken for granted that we could do in the past, all of us are pressing our way forward, day by day. I hope and pray you are seeing and getting the victory in your daily living. God is still blessing. Part of God’s blessing comes in us being able to celebrate our children, our blessed children who God has given us in Zion. So many are doing so well and it just makes my heart glad.

My Zion Memorial Missionary Baptist Church Family, How I so wanted to be with you in the sanctuary on this past Sunday, the first Sunday of June, our target date for reopening; but, God had a different plan. So, as we are supposed to do, after consulting with different people, I obeyed and followed the direction that I believe God was leading by the presence and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It was not what I initially wanted to do; but, I love you too much to put you at

Church Family, After conversation with some of our church leaders and prayerful consideration of the environment that persists with COVID-19, I have, being led by the Holy Spirit, made the decision to delay the reopening of the church to worship services. God has blessed us to be able to continue to wors hip and gather virtually in a successful way and we will continue to do so. My love, care and concern for you, your health, and the health of those who you love and care for

Beloved, As I type out these letters into prayerfully Spirit-filled words, my hope is that as you always receive them, you will read them and see what God is trying to say to you through me. We are living in the most interesting of times, unique but similar. Similar because the Holy Scripture tells us that there will be wars and rumors of wars. We are constantly in some form of battle. Individually, if we are completely honest with ourselves, there is some battle raging in
