Young Adult Ministry Serving Beyond the Walls
Our Young Adult Ministry recently had the opportunity to put faith into action by serving at Spotsylvania Mall alongside the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank. With grateful hearts and willing hands, our young adults donated their time and resources to help dismantle the Canstruction displays—creative structures built entirely from canned goods donated by local companies and organizations to help fight hunger in our community.
This was more than just taking down a display; it was a powerful reminder that ministry doesn’t stop at the church doors. It happens wherever there is a need. By serving together, our young adults demonstrated compassion, teamwork, and a commitment to loving others through action.
As Scripture reminds us:
“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18
We are proud of our Young Adult Ministry for living out the Gospel, showing up for the community, and being the hands and feet of Christ.

This conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear their hearts as they reflect on God’s work, the journey of ministry, and the wisdom gained along the way.
Whether you’re seeking spiritual encouragement, practical guidance, or a deeper understanding of purpose and partnership, this two‑part series is designed to uplift, inspire, and strengthen your walk. You won’t want to miss the heartfelt reflections and thoughtful conversation that speaks to both the church and everyday life.

Celebrating 30 Years of Faithful Pastoral Leadership
Our church family recently gathered in joyful celebration to honor Pastor Rev. Dr. Charles Wormley and First Lady Dr. Patricia Wormley on the occasion of their 30th Pastoral Anniversary. This milestone marks three decades of unwavering commitment, faithful service, and Christ-centered leadership that has deeply impacted our congregation and the broader community.
The anniversary weekend was filled with moments of reflection, gratitude, and praise. Through worship, fellowship, and heartfelt tributes, we celebrated a legacy shaped by strong preaching, compassionate shepherding, and a shared devotion to God’s call. From nurturing spiritual growth to guiding generations with wisdom and integrity, Pastor and First Lady Wormley’s leadership has been a true blessing.
As a church, we give thanks for their steadfast love for God’s people and their example of servant leadership. Their ministry has modeled faith in action, perseverance through every season, and an enduring commitment to teaching and living the Word of God.
We rejoice in what God has done through their lives and look forward with great expectation to the continued work ahead. May God grant Pastor and First Lady Wormley many more years of strength, joy, and impact as they continue to serve with faithfulness and excellence.
“The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor.” — 1 Timothy 5:17 (NIV)

Welcome March
March arrives like a fresh breath of promise—carrying the last cool winds of winter, the stirring energy of new beginnings, and the anticipation of a season that invites us to look forward with hope. As we step into this new month, we embrace both reflection and renewal, trusting that God is guiding every step.
🌬️ The Winds of Change
March is known for its shifting winds—sometimes gentle, sometimes strong. In Scripture, wind often symbolizes the movement of God’s Spirit, reminding us that even when life feels unpredictable, the Lord is working in ways we cannot always see. Just as the wind ushers out winter, God prepares our hearts for what He is bringing next.
🕊️ Honoring the NAACP and the Work of Justice
March also gives us space to honor the ongoing work of the NAACP and all who labor for justice, equality, and dignity. Their efforts echo the biblical call to “let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream” (Amos 5:24). As a church, we continue to stand for truth, compassion, and community uplift.
🏀 March Madness and Community Spirit
For many, March brings the excitement of March Madness—teams striving, communities cheering, and unexpected victories unfolding. It’s a reminder that perseverance, teamwork, and heart can carry us further than we imagine. Whether you follow the games or simply enjoy the energy, it’s a moment that brings people together.
❄️ The End of Winter and the Promise of Renewal
As winter fades, we begin to see signs of new life—longer days, budding trees, and the quiet promise of spring. This shift mirrors God’s renewing work in us. Seasons change, but His faithfulness remains constant.
✨ A Scripture for the Month
“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?”
— Isaiah 43:19
This month, may we open our hearts to the new things God is preparing—new strength, new opportunities, and new reasons to give Him praise.
“Give Me That Old Gospel Hymn”
Old gospel hymns carry us back to a time when faith was sung through trials, testimonies, and praise. These songs kept us close to God when times were hard and hope had to be sung before it was seen. As we listen, we remember how the old hymns still steady our hearts and lift our spirits today.
Honoring Black Heritage Through the Kitchen
As we continue celebrating Black heritage, we’re reminded that some of our deepest stories are told not in books, but in kitchens. This video captures the soul food traditions lovingly passed down by grandmothers whose hands still remember recipes by heart. It’s more than cooking—it’s memory, faith, family, and love served one plate at a time.
During Periods of Inclement Weather | Information for Church Families
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.

New Saturday Morning Bible Study: “Kingdom Stewardship & Tithing”
Saturdays at 10:00 a.m. | Led by Rev. Dr. Charles W. Wormley, Pastor | For All MZBC Members
Mount Zion Baptist Church is excited to announce a new Saturday Morning Bible Study for all members, beginning at 10:00 a.m. each Saturday. Under the prayerful leadership of Rev. Dr. Charles W. Wormley, Pastor, we will explore the timely and transformational topic: Kingdom Stewardship and Tithing.
This study will deepen our understanding of biblical stewardship—how we honor God with our time, talent, and treasure—and why tithing is both a spiritual discipline and a declaration of trust in God as our source.
Who Should Attend:
All MZBC members—whether you’re new to the faith, growing in stewardship, or seeking to refresh your understanding—are warmly invited. Bring your Bible, a notebook, and an open heart.
Why This Study Matters
Stewardship is about more than finances; it’s about living our entire lives under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Tithing is not just a transaction; it’s a testimony—an act of worship that says, “God, You come first.” Together, we’ll look at Scripture, ask questions, and learn practical ways to live faithfully and generously in our homes, our church, and our community.
A Short Story to Encourage Your Heart
“The Jar and the First Cup”
Brother James kept a simple ceramic jar on his kitchen counter—his “Blessing Jar.” Every payday, he set aside his tithe first: the first cup from the jar. At times, money felt tight, and the jar looked thin. But each month he honored God first, even when it felt risky.
One Saturday morning, Brother James came to Bible Study discouraged, unsure how he’d make it to month’s end. Sister Ruth overheard and gently advised, “You keep giving the first cup. God has a way of refilling the jar.”
That afternoon, Brother James received an unexpected refund and a call about a better-paying position. He stood in church the next day with tears in his eyes. “The jar wasn’t empty,” he testified. “God was making room for more.”
Moral: When we honor God first, He teaches us that our supply doesn’t come from the jar—it comes from His hand.
Scripture for Reflection
- Malachi 3:10 (KJV):
*“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that the…
