As we gather this Memorial Day, Mount Zion Baptist Church of Spotsylvania pauses to honor the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness have secured the freedoms we enjoy today—freedoms that allow us to worship, to gather, and to live in peace.
We recognize that behind every fallen hero is a family who bears the weight of that sacrifice. To those families, we offer our deepest gratitude and heartfelt prayers. Your loss is not forgotten, and your loved ones are remembered with reverence and honor.
Memorial Day is often seen as the unofficial start of summer—a time for barbecues, parades, and time with loved ones. But at its heart, it is a sacred opportunity to reflect on the cost of liberty. As Francis Scott Key penned in The Star-Spangled Banner, “O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?” Today, we affirm that it does—and it waves because of the brave.
Let us never take for granted the freedoms we hold dear. May we live in a way that honors the legacy of those who gave all, and may we continue to be a light in our community, guided by faith, hope, and love.
From all of us at Mount Zion Baptist Church, we wish you a meaningful and reflective Memorial Day.

"He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings."
On a joyous afternoon filled with color and laughter, the women of Mount Zion Baptist Church gathered for a paint party like no other. With paintbrushes in hand and hearts full of gratitude, they came together not just to create beautiful artwork but to celebrate friendship, faith, and fellowship.
As each stroke hit the canvas, stories were shared, smiles exchanged, and laughter filled the room. The event was more than just painting—it was a time of bonding, encouragement, and uplifting one another in faith. Some discovered hidden artistic talents, while others simply enjoyed the blessing of community.
The paint party served as a reminder of God's artistry, not only in the colors they mixed but, in the relationships, nurtured and the memories made. Through creativity, companionship, and joy, every woman left with more than just a painting—they left with a heart full of warmth and appreciation for the sisterhood they share.
On Sunday, May 11, Mother's Day, the creative paintings were on full display in the church vestibule, showcasing the beauty of both art and togetherness. Each piece reflected not only individual creativity but the collective spirit of love and faith that binds this wonderful community.
At Mount Zion Church, we believe that moments like these strengthen our faith and our friendships. The beauty of the day wasn't just in the canvases but in the connections that grew stronger. Here's to more gatherings that fill hearts with joy and canvases with faith!
"When Women Gather"
When women gather, hearts ignite,
With wisdom deep and spirits bright.
They lift each other, hand in hand,
A woven thread, a sacred band.

Sermon Scripture | Here is 1 John 2:1-2 from the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible:
1 John 2:1-2 (NIV)
1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.
2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.
This passage emphasizes both the call to live righteously and the assurance of grace through Jesus Christ, who serves as our advocate and atoning sacrifice.
The 74th Annual State Minister's Wives and Minister's Widows Conference recently took place in Fairfax, Virginia, bringing together dedicated women from across the state. This event serves as a vital platform for discussing business matters, addressing issues, fundraising, and recognizing the contributions of its members.
Rev. Dr. Patricia Wormley, the current President of the organization, led the conference with grace and wisdom. Under her leadership, attendees engaged in meaningful conversations about the future direction of their ministries, shared best practices, and celebrated the dedication of their peers.
Scripture for Reflection:
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
This scripture reminds us of the importance of coming together, supporting one another, and continuing to do good works in the name of our faith.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who participated and contributed to the success of the conference. We look forward to many more years of fellowship and service.
In times of need, uncertainty, or joy, we often seek guidance and comfort. Our faith reminds us that we can always turn to the Bible for wisdom and support. Just like emergency numbers, Bible scriptures are there to help us navigate through life's challenges and celebrate its blessings. Whether you are facing a difficult decision, seeking peace, or rejoicing in a moment of happiness, the Bible has a verse for every situation.
Call Him Up! is a reminder that God is always just a prayer away. By turning to these scriptures, you can find solace, strength, and direction. Here are some Bible emergency numbers to keep close to your heart:
Remember, no matter what you are going through, you can always call Him up. Let these scriptures be your spiritual emergency numbers, guiding you through every aspect of your life.
