Mount Zion Baptist Church Remembers Richard Smallwood

Mount Zion Baptist Church joins the gospel community around the world in mourning the passing of Richard Smallwood, the legendary, Grammy‑nominated gospel composer, pianist, and worship leader who went home to be with the Lord on December 30, 2025, at the age of 77.

Richard Smallwood’s ministry shaped the sound of modern gospel worship. Through timeless songs such as “Total Praise,” “I Love the Lord,” “Center of My Joy,” and “Anthem of Praise,” he offered the Body of Christ music that lifted weary hearts and strengthened faith across generations. His works were celebrated and covered by artists including Whitney Houston, Destiny’s Child, and choirs around the world.

A classically trained composer and Howard University graduate, Smallwood blended musical excellence with deep spiritual conviction, creating a worship sound that became foundational in churches everywhere. His legacy as a composer, worship leader, and servant of God will continue to inspire believers for years to come.

We extend our heartfelt prayers to his family, loved ones, and all who have been touched by his ministry. May the peace of God surround them during this time of remembrance.

“Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.” – Psalm 150:6

Couple’s Ministry Holiday Fellowship

Mount Zion Baptist Church’s Couple’s Ministry gathered for a wonderful Holiday Fellowship at Golden Corral in Spotsylvania, VA. Our couples enjoyed delicious food, heartfelt conversations, and plenty of laughter as we celebrated the season together.

A highlight of the evening was the joyful singing of Christmas carols — especially a lively rendition of “The 12 Days of Christmas” that had everyone smiling and joining in. Truly, a blessed time was had by all!

As we reflect on this season of connection and love, we are reminded of the beauty of Christian fellowship:

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” — Psalm 133:1 (KJV)

We look forward to many more moments of love, unity, and togetherness in the new year.

Youth Ministry Shines in A Biblical Flashback: Reliving the Night Christ Was Born

Mount Zion Church was filled with joy as the Youth Ministry presented a heartfelt Christmas recreation celebrating the Biblical figures surrounding the birth of Jesus. The young performers brought the Nativity story to life with sincerity, energy, and a clear love for sharing God’s Word.

Adult Participants

We gratefully acknowledge the adults who supported and participated in creating the biblical recreation: Sister Sheila Blackwell, Minister Phyllis Pollard, Rev. Dr. Patricia Wormley, Minister John Richards, Deacon Joseph Edwards, Deaconess Alice Edwards, and Sister Phyllis Whitaker.

Youth Cast

Our young stars included Andre, Coi, Jaron, Olivia, Lincoln, Lydia, and Remi, each offering a memorable performance that blessed the congregation.

The biblical experience was enjoyed by all in attendance and served as a beautiful reminder of the hope and joy found in Christ’s birth.

Notable | Making a Joyful Noise:

We joyfully recognize Brother Jaron Jordon for his participation in his elementary school band. It is a blessing to see young people developing their talents through dedication and creativity. As Scripture reminds us, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms” (1 Peter 4:10). We celebrate Brother Jaron and encourage him to continue using his gifts to God’s glory.

Women’s Ministry End-of-Year Celebration

The ladies of Mount Zion Baptist Church’s Women’s Ministry gathered for a joyful end-of-year holiday celebration at a local restaurant. It was a time of warm fellowship, laughter, and heartfelt reflection on the many accomplishments of 2025.

Welcome December: A Season of Joy, Reflection, and Hope

As we step into the month of December, our hearts are filled with anticipation and warmth. This is a time when streets sparkle with lights, homes echo with laughter, and calendars overflow with celebrations. From shopping for loved ones to attending festive gatherings and Christmas parties, December invites us to embrace the spirit of giving and togetherness.

For many, year-end bonuses bring relief and gratitude, while wide-eyed children eagerly await the magic of Christmas morning. Yet, amid the happiness, we also acknowledge the quiet moments of sorrow and reflection that some may experience. December is a tapestry woven with joy and challenges, endings and new beginnings.

As the year draws to a close, we pause to look back on what has been and dream of what is to come. Hopes and aspirations for the new year remind us that every ending is a doorway to fresh opportunities.

But above all, we remember the reason for the season—the greatest story ever told: the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior. In a humble manger, hope was born. His arrival brought light into a world longing for peace, and His love continues to guide us today.

This December, let us celebrate with gratitude, share kindness generously, and keep our hearts centered on Christ. May this season fill your home with joy, your spirit with peace, and your life with the promise of God’s love.

Join us for worship and fellowship as we honor the true meaning of Christmas. Together, let’s make this December unforgettable.

Scripture for Reflection:
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." — Luke 2:11 (KJV)

sunday Morning worship service | SERMON Title “whoever calls on the name of the lord shall be saved?" text romans 10:13 | preached word of god by rev. dr. charles w. wormley, pastor

Video Ministry Recording provided by Church School Superintendent Brother Robert Lucas

Romans 10:13

These verses emphasize that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Paul then explains the process: people need to believe in Christ, but they can only believe if they hear about Him, and they can only hear if someone preaches. Finally, preachers must be sent—highlighting the importance of evangelism and sharing the Gospel.
