Matthew 26:17–25 (Summary, based on most translations):

• Verses 17–19: On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, Jesus' disciples ask Him where He wants them to prepare the Passover meal. Jesus instructs them to go to a certain man in the city and say, “The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.” The disciples do as Jesus directed and prepare the meal.
• Verses 20–22: That evening, while Jesus is reclining at the table with the Twelve, He tells them, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” The disciples are deeply distressed and begin to ask Him one after another, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”
• Verses 23–25: Jesus replies, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.” Then Judas, the one who would betray Him, says, “Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?” Jesus answers, “You have said so.”

Here is Ephesians 4:11–16 from the New International Version (NIV):

11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,
12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.

Congratulations to Angela Mack, Recipient of the “Sister to Sister Award”

Angela “Angie” Mack has been recently recognized by her Women’s Ministry peers as the quarterly recipient of the prestigious “Sister to Sister Award,” an honor that reflects her unwavering kindness, dedication, and commitment to her community and faith. This award celebrates Angie’s ability to positively impact those around her, embodying the true spirit of sisterhood.

Born on December 6, 1975, in Monticello, New York, Angie is the youngest of four siblings to Arthur and Beulah Mack. She grew up in a loving family alongside her two sisters, Mary and LaVerne, and her brother, Arthur Jr. Despite the untimely loss of her beloved daughter, Minka Milan Ellison, Angie has remained a pillar of strength and warmth. She is the “Cool” aunt to her six nephews and nieces—Antwan, Randy, Mark, Monique, Shanice, and Deja—as well as a great aunt to Giovanna, Raelani, Jamarkis, and Rian.

After graduating from Monticello High School, Angie relocated to Virginia in 1999, where she has thrived professionally and personally. Currently, Angie is a Human Resource Representative and Governmental Contract Coordinator at Pullen Moving Company in Woodbridge, Virginia. Known for her exemplary work ethic, she has diligently commuted along I-95 and adeptly juggled her responsibilities of training new hires, onboarding employees, and supporting her team.

Angie’s connection to her faith deepened when she sought out Mt. Zion Church, which she instantly knew was her spiritual home. Her contributions have been profound: from serving on the kitchen committee to supporting the Trustee Board, the Young at Heart Ministry, and the Communications Ministry. One of her most memorable experiences was when she formed a bond with Ms. Vikki during Vacation Bible School—an interaction marked by humor and mutual respect.

Angie’s favorite color is blue, and she finds joy in music and time spent with family. Known for her radiant smile and kind heart, she approaches every task with precision and dedication. Her laughter and strength are an inspiration to all who know her, and her faith is evident in every facet of her life.

Receiving the “Sister to Sister Award” is a fitting tribute to Angie’s remarkable character and her ongoing commitment to uplifting others. Congratulations, Angie, on this well-deserved recognition!

Faith Focus: Weekly Bible Insight: 

📖 Context and Insight: Moses, the Broken Tablets, and God's Mercy

After receiving the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, Moses descended the mountain only to find the Israelites worshiping a golden calf (Exodus 32). This act of idolatry was a direct violation of the covenant they had just entered into with God.

🔥 Moses Breaks the Tablets (Exodus 32:19)

"When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain."

This dramatic act symbolized the breaking of the covenant between God and Israel. The tablets, written by the finger of God (Exodus 31:18), were sacred, and their destruction showed how deeply the people had sinned.

🙏 Moses Intercedes (Exodus 32:30–32)

Moses then returns to God and pleads for mercy on behalf of the people, even offering to have his own name blotted out of God's book if it would save them. This shows Moses’ deep love and leadership, acting as a mediator between God and the people.

📜 God Renews the Covenant (Exodus 34:1)

"The Lord said to Moses, 'Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.'"

✨ Spiritual Insight

This story is a profound illustration of:

• Human failure: Even after witnessing miracles, people can quickly turn away.
• Righteous anger: Moses’ reaction shows that sin should not be taken lightly.
• Intercession: Moses’ role foreshadows Christ, who intercedes for humanity.
• God’s mercy: Despite the betrayal, God chooses to forgive and renew His promise.
