Mount Zion Youth Ministry Glides Into February With a Night of Roller Skating Fun
On Monday, February 2nd, the Mount Zion Baptist Church Youth Ministry traded pews for wheels as they headed to Cavalier in Stafford, Virginia for an evening of roller skating, laughter, and unforgettable memories. What began as a simple night out quickly became a beautiful reminder of growth, courage, and God’s guiding grace.
For many of our children, this was their very first time on skates. At the start of the night, they clung to the wall, shook with nerves, and searched for anything — or anyone — to hold onto. Their wobbly first steps looked a lot like the early stages of life’s journey: uncertain, unsteady, and full of questions.
But they weren’t alone.
Several of our fathers, seasoned skaters themselves, stepped boldly onto the floor and became living examples of support and leadership. Their presence turned the rink into a place of connection, encouragement, and shared joy. With every lap, they reminded our youth that growth happens when someone believes in you enough to skate beside you.
As the night went on, something beautiful happened. The same children who trembled at the start began to glide with confidence. Their fear gave way to freedom. Their hesitation transformed into expression and movement. They found their rhythm — and in doing so, they found a lesson.
Just like new believers learning to trust Jesus, our youth discovered that faith grows with every step. At first, they wobbled. Then, they leaned on support. And eventually, they moved boldly, carried by grace.
By the end of the evening, the rink was filled with smiling faces, triumphant glides, and the sound of pure joy. It was more than a skating trip — it was a collective venture of fellowship, courage, and spiritual reflection.
Mount Zion celebrates our Youth Ministry, our dedicated fathers, and every child who stepped onto the floor with bravery. The night was truly enjoyed by all in attendance, and it set a beautiful tone for the month ahead.
Each February, Mount Zion Baptist Church joins communities across the nation in celebrating Black History Month—a sacred time to honor the faith, resilience, and brilliance of African Americans whose stories continue to shape our world. For our church family, this month is more than a historical observance. It is a spiritual reminder of God’s faithfulness through generations and a call to continue the work of justice, unity, and love.
If winter weather makes travel unsafe, church services may be postponed or delayed. Updates on facility and service status will be provided by the Pastor to the church clerk and shared as soon as possible.
