Remembering 34/39 Member, Mother Earlene Howell




The 34/39 zipone celebrates the life of Mother Earlene Howell! Mother Howell was a long-time member of Mount Pleasant and was an active participant in the activities of the 34/39 zipzone. Our condolences go to Mother Howell's family. We will miss her, but we celebrate her life and her legacy. We rejoice that she is with the Lord.




Bishop's Series on Low Self-esteem, Oct. 19 - Nov. 2

Bishop Johnson has been delivering sermons in a series since the end of October dealing with low self-esteem.

  1. Low self-esteem paralyzes your potential
  2. Low self-esteem destroys your dreams
  3. Low self-esteem ruins your relationships
  4. Low self-esteem sabotages your favor for service.

Scriptures: Numbers 13:23-26, 30-33, I John 3:1-3.

We urge you to get the CDs for the series: October 19 - November 2.

Key -- Take your self-estimate from God.

Remember Bishop's words (from I John 3:1) "Say 'I am a champion because I am a child of God!' ... Let God love you!"
