Dear Zion Family, Get ready for the next session of the State of Your Church Course Curriculum kicking off tonight Monday, September 22, 2025 @8 PM (EST)!  We are excited to welcome Rev. Julius Walls, Jr. (Chief Operating Officer - A.M.E. Zion Church) as the Presenter for the session. Monday night’s class will explore the 2nd Dimension of Flourishing People: PURPOSE. This dimension explores the experience of purpose and meaning in one’s daily activities, whether at work, home, or during one’s free time.  It looks beyond occupation and delves into one’s place and role in the world. For Scripture says, “The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God.” (Psalms 92:12-13 NIV; and see Book of Discipline, Page 400).
