A Message from the Pastor
Blessed are you who come in the name of the Lord our God.
As we stand in the midst of the early years of the twenty-first century, our hearts are filled with joy. We are happy
because we are godly people who possess a good, rich Christian heritage and
legacy. We have come this far, through many dangers, toils, and snares, by
faith. This great faith was taught and bequeathed to us by our ancestors. Yes,
we are the children and the descendants of those Christian Methodist pioneers
who hoped, dreamt, prayed, and worked toward the establishment of our Zion in
Detroit, Michigan. For over eighty consecutive years, our congregation has
worked faithfully in local, state, regional, national, and international arenas
to help in advancing the Kingdom of God.
Today we praise God for what he has done, is doing and will do in us,
individually and collectively. God who is faithful and just continues to showers
us with blessing from above. Healing, financial blessing, restoration of
relationships and peace of mind are only a few of the gifts that God continues
to provide. The power of the Holy Ghost is evidenced in the lives of the
membership as we continue to move mountains, overcome adversity, and gain
victory after victory.
As we continue to strive to be the Lord's people (The Church) in the
twenty-first century, let us do so with the wisdom of Solomon, the humility of
David, the courage of Esther, the faith of our foreparents, and the powerful
love of the Eternal One. May the Lord continue to bless and to sanctify us as we
grow, improve, and mature in his Holy Spirit.
We invite you to come and experience the love of God; Come and feel the power
of the Holy Spirit; Come and unite with this body of Christ as we lift up the
name of Jesus. For He is Worthy to be Praised.
ST. JOHN
