🗳️ Your Voice, Your Power: Get Out and Vote!
Voting isn’t just a civic duty—it’s a declaration of hope. It’s how we shape the communities we live in, protect the rights we cherish, and build a future that reflects our values.
Every ballot cast is a step toward change: toward better schools, safer neighborhoods, fairer wages, and stronger healthcare. It’s how we ensure our voices are heard and our needs are met.
When you vote, you’re not just participating—you’re leading. You’re standing up for your quality of life, for your family, and for generations to come. You’re exercising a right that many fought hard to secure, and you’re proving that democracy thrives when we show up.
So, this Tuesday, make it count. Get out and vote—for change, for progress, for you.
🍂 Welcoming November: A Season of Thanksgiving and Grace
As the crisp air settles in and autumn leaves blanket the ground, we joyfully welcome the month of November—a time of reflection, gratitude, and gathering. This season invites us to pause and recognize the abundant blessings God has poured into our lives, both seen and unseen.
November is more than a prelude to Thanksgiving Day; it is a month that calls us to live with thankful hearts. Whether we’re sharing meals with loved ones, serving our community, or simply enjoying the beauty of creation, we are reminded that every moment is a gift.
📖 Scripture of the Month "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever." —Psalm 107:1 (NIV)
This verse reminds us that gratitude is not just a feeling—it’s a response to God’s enduring love and goodness. Let us carry this truth into every day of November.
A Message From The Baptist General Convention of Virginia, Inc.
We had an amazing time on October 13th with the BGCVA Commission on Social Justice in collaboration with the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy with our virtual session titled "The Power of the Pew: Voting in This Moment." Out of that came numerous resources. We are attaching the BGCVA Social Justice priorities for this year. In addition, you will find the presentation for 100% voting as presented by VICPP.
Election Day is on November 4th and early voting is happening now, including weekend voting in the last two weekend before the election. As you can see in the world right now, your vote is critical! Do not stand on the sidelines thinking your vote does not matter and silence those voices who tell you your vote doesn't matter. Get out and vote and mobilize your congregation. If you have any questions, please let us know by emailing us at info@bgcva.org or at lblizzard@bgcva org.
VOTING (Romans 13:1)
Access to the ballot box is one of the greatest threats to democracy. African Americans did not have the ability to vote without intimidation until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Today, we see the fragility of that right through the dismantling of this act at the federal level. Voting determines who represents us at all levels of government. We must ensure fair and equal access to the ballot box and to those who represent us.
Strengthen precinct-level voting access and expand voter registration within congregations and communities.
Fight against voting restrictions and gerrymandering designed to dilute the influence and impact of our communities.
Develop leadership prepared to serve in public office to move priorities forward that affect our communities.

2025 Priority Issues for Public Policy
The Baptist General Convention of Virginia, Inc. (BGCVA), through its Commission on Social Justice, focuses its justice efforts on the needs and challenges of members of our congregations and those living in the Commonwealth of Virginia. BGCVA focuses on five main areas:
ecology (where we live, what we breathe, what we eat, and health)
education (where and how we learn)
employment (how and where we earn and gain resources)
economics (where and how we spend our resources)
election (who represents us)
This document outlines areas for advocacy and action that the BGCVA is requesting all congregations and associations to focus on in 2024, as was presented at the BGCVA’s 125th Annual Session and Congress of Christian Faith Formation in July 2024.
HOUSING (Isaiah 32:18)
Access to affordable and fair housing impacts communities across the nation but has a greater impact on African-American communities. The policy priorities are three-fold:
Control housing costs in local areas beyond simple inflation issues.
Enable congregations to use their land to develop housing for local communities.
Ensure African-American communities have fair fiscal equity in housing values and valuations, as housing is part of building generational wealth.
EDUCATION (Hosea 4:6)
The history of education is built on disparities across the United States, and the Commonwealth of Virginia once had laws against literacy for African Americans as far back as the Code of Virginia in 1849. We must mandate educational equity for our communities.
Provide and ensure support for literacy at or above grade level.
Give guidance on book banning, regardless of content, to dismantle barriers and promote holistic conversations on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Ensure equitable funding and access for schools to achieve education reform.
HEALTH EQUITY (Matthew 25:36b)
Health disparities impact communities across the United States, and the history of America’s medical treatment of African Americans became worse during the COVID-19 pandemic. The work of health equity must address disparities in healthcare that affect our communities.
Ensure African Americans have access to healthcare without racial bias in training, licensure, and credential renewal of healthcare professionals.
Provide equal food access in areas where food insecurity exists and educate the community on this issue.
Focus on greater access and choice in healthcare for women and those who are pregnant.
Increase preventive care and food security in communities where these challenges exist.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM (Matthew 25:36c)
We must address the prison-industrial complex that objectifies Black bodies. Laws have been adapted to make incarceration a perpetual reality for our community.
Fight for automatic restoration of rights for returning citizens.
Strengthen access to higher education in prisons.
Develop policies for free communications for those who are incarcerated.
VOTING (Romans 13:1)
Access to the ballot box is one of the greatest threats to democracy. African Americans did not have the ability to vote without intimidation until the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Today, we see the fragility of that right through the dismantling of this act at the federal level. Voting determines who represents us at all levels of government. We must ensure fair and equal access to the ballot box and to those who represent us.

Save The Date. sunday, November 9th @ 2:00 p.m. | Mount Zion Baptist Church Celebrates 164 Years of Faithfulness!
Join us as we honor a remarkable milestone in our church’s history! Mount Zion Baptist Church will celebrate its 164th Anniversary on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. This is a time to reflect on God’s goodness and rejoice in His enduring promises.
Our theme for this year is: “Greatness is Thy Faithfulness” Lamentations 3:21-23
We are blessed to welcome the renowned Gospel preacher, Rev. Bobby D. Hicks, who will deliver a powerful Word from the Lord. This celebration is more than an event—it’s an opportunity to come together as a community, give thanks, and be inspired by God’s faithfulness through the generations.
We invite everyone—family, friends, and neighbors—to join us for this special occasion. Come and celebrate with us and hear the life-changing Word of God!
Fake People by Pastor Bobby D. Hicks
sunday Morning worship service | SERMON Title “keep your house in order."
text isaiah 38:11, 2 Kings 20:1 | preached word of god by rev. dr. charles w. wormley, pastor
Video Ministry recording provided by Brother Robert Lucas, Church School Superintendent
Isaiah 38:1 – This verse tells about the prophet Isaiah delivering a message from God to King Hezekiah, saying that he should set his house in order because he is going to die and will not recover.
2 Kings 20:1 – This verse is essentially the same account as Isaiah 38:1, also describing Isaiah’s message to Hezekiah about his impending death.
Both passages introduce the story where Hezekiah prays to God for healing, and God responds by granting him additional years of life. It’s a powerful example of prayer, faith, and God’s mercy.
With Our Hands Lifted Up and Our Hearts Filled with Praise
In times of uncertainty, we turn to God for strength, peace, and provision. Today, Mount Zion Baptist Church pauses to lift up a special prayer for all Federal workers who are facing possible layoffs due to the temporary shutdown of the Federal Government. We recognize the stress and challenges this situation brings, and we stand together in faith, believing that God will make a way.
A Word of Encouragement
"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." – 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV)
No matter the storm, God remains our refuge and provider. Let us trust Him to open doors and sustain every family affected during this season.
Prayer for Federal Workers
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts lifted in praise and hands raised in surrender. Lord, we pray for every Federal worker impacted by this shutdown. Comfort them in their uncertainty, strengthen their faith, and provide for their needs. Remind them that You are Jehovah Jireh—the God who provides. We ask for wisdom for our leaders and a swift resolution that honors justice and peace. Cover these families with Your grace and let Your favor rest upon them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
🕊️ Weekly Reflection: Psalm 46 – “God Is Our Refuge”
🕊️ Weekly Reflection: Psalm 46 – “God Is Our Refuge”
Scripture Focus:
"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble."
—Psalm 46:1 (NIV)
Reflection:
As we enter November, a month often filled with both celebration and reflection, Psalm 46 reminds us that God is not distant—He is our shelter in every storm. David wrote this from a place of deep vulnerability, yet his words overflow with trust. This week, consider the ways God has been your refuge this year. Where did He meet you in your weakness? What storms did He carry you through?
Discussion Questions:
• What does “refuge” mean to you personally?
• Can you recall a moment when God’s presence gave you strength?
• How can you offer that same refuge to someone else this week?
Prayer Prompt:
Lord, thank You for being my safe place. When life feels uncertain, help me remember Your constant presence. Teach me to rest in Your strength and extend Your peace to others.
