SUMMARY:Zion Back to Church Sunday
DESCRIPTION:Zion\, as I gave my president’s address\, I spoke to you about the need for us to get back to church. We have used the wonderful resources of social media to adapt to the current climate\, which has allowed us to reach the masses\, and for that\, we are thankful! However\, it’s our belief as the Board of Bishops that our local congregations have lost a lot of the valuable fellowship within our local churches\, and it’s time that we invite all back to the sanctuary\, as well as those who are not local to our sanctuaries\, to reconnect with us. \n\n\n\nSeptember 21st is Zion Back to Church Sunday\, and we have provided this guide to assist you with these efforts. \n\n\n\nBishop Brian R. Thompson Sr.\, President of the Board of Bishops
