CHAPELS 4 1 3 Chapels at Mount Zion are incredible! The word preached is straight from the heart of God and always comes at the right moment. The presence of God is clearly evident in these times. Chapel services are a time when the things the Lord has been speaking to us on an individual basis are confirmed through the preaching of His word and times of corporate prayer and supplication. We are blessed to hear from great men and women of God from all over the world who walk with Him and know His voice and heart. Our most treasured times are Wednesday chapels with Sister Catherine. All of us gather together, staff and students alike and hear 2 a fresh word from her. In every service, whether in the word spoken, in worship, in prayer or in thanksgiving, one thing is always sure: the presence of the Lord is always encountered richly. We will never take these precious times for granted or allow them to become commonplace experiences. 1) Sister Catherine praying for guest missionaries 2) Andre Bernard ( 11) speaking during a service 3) Igor Panov ( 11) plays guitar during praise and worship. 4) Rachelle Legentus ( 10) leads worship during a chapel service. 5) Ian Knapp ( 11) worships before a service. 6) Students in the middle of prayer during a Friday prayer chapel. 5 6
Every Wednesday chapel is set aside for a person who is very special to all of us, Sister Catherine. She comes to share what is on her heart no matter how busy her schedule is. There is no specific format for these chapel services, but whether our time is spent in worship, prayer, listening to her speak, or doing a Jericho march, we know that it is Spirit led. Sister Catherine, with her many life experiences has a lot of wisdom to offer! At the heart of each of her messages, the core values of the school are reflected: intimacy with God, surrender to His will and obedience to the Holy Spirit. She also challenges us to remain at God s feet no matter what we face and to lay down our lives for Him. Sister Catherine herself is an incredible example of such a life. We are truly blessed to have such a caring and loving mother of Zion, who continually tends to our needs and desires for us to draw closer to the Lord. We are always refreshed and encouraged by her words to us in these chapels.
Pastor Chapel David Pastor David sharing the Word of God. It is a time of great joy for all here on campus when Pastor David brings a word of truth straight from God s heart. It is a word spoken with gentleness and power, which goes straight into our hearts. It is plain to see the years of devotion to God pour out of his heart as he conveys God s message to us. There is always an expectation in these chapels that we are going to hear a life changing word from God. As the head of our ministry he is a man who is truly in touch with the heart of God. It is always a delight to have him here to speak from this pulpit. 1 Timothy 6:11-14 MEEKNESS But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: John 17:23, 26 I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me. And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. Psalm 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.

New England Prayer for the Region From the beginning, the school has had a burden for this country and the nations. For over 16 years we have prayed and sent workers around the globe. Now, the Lord has placed it on our hearts to go further. He has rebirthed a vision, which He placed in Sister Catherine s heart many years ago, and is now stirring our hearts to intercede for New England. A Meaningful History In 1620 the group known as the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts. They came for one purpose and with one longing in their hearts to find a place where they could worship Jesus Christ with freedom and without fear. That is the heritage they desired to pass on to future generations. Now, years later, God wants to restore that heritage to His people. The religious freedom we need in this country is freedom from fear, freedom from sin and freedom from every stronghold of the enemy. The Lord is calling His Church to rise up, take her position and claim the freedom He has won for her. P ow e r o f P r a y e r Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. Joshua 1:3 We stand in agreement with God s Word that as we intercede for our nation and this area specifically, strongholds will fall. The land is His, and He has given us the tools needed to go in and possess it. Intercession is the means by which we take ground in the spiritual realm, and it opens the door for God to move in the physical. Please join us as we march in to take the land through prayer! Direction of Prayer God would stir His people to prayer and intimacy The pure Word of God to be preached Strongholds over the youth to be broken The Gospel to be preached and the lost to come to Christ
