It's time for Springfest and the true meaning of Easter; we wish everyone a Happy Easter

It's Easter time and you know what that means. It's time for Springfest 2017 at Mt. Zion Progressive Missionary Baptist Church. The Weekly Challenger has an article about the upcoming important community event. From the article: "Rev. Shawn Thomas is hopeful that Springfest will have a deeper impact that resonates through the community. As the youth pastor of Mt. Zion’s Children and Youth Ministry (CYM), he hopes the youth will embrace their three lifestyle messages of being spiritually connected, socially conscious and smart and cultured."

Ribs, laughter, fun -- and oh, the costumes!

Did you see Allen Buchanan's feature in The Weekly Challenger about all the community spirit at Mt, Zion Missionary Baptist Church's annual OktoberFest celebration? It was a night that communities are all about – fun and games, a wide range of clever costumes, and hot dogs, hamburgers, and ribs on the grill. If you didn't get there, take a look at the pictures. What fun!
