Stepping Back in Time with the One I Love: Couple’s Ministry Trip to Colonial Williamsburg


On August 15–16, 2025, the Couple’s Ministry of Mount Zion Church embarked on a heartwarming journey to Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia—a retreat themed “Stepping Back in Time with the One I Love.” This special getaway offered couples a chance to slow down, reconnect, and celebrate love in a setting rich with history and charm.

The group stayed at the welcoming Hampton Inn, where comfort and fellowship set the tone for the weekend. The itinerary was filled with memorable experiences, including:

  • Shopping at the Williamsburg Prime Outlet in Lightfoot, where couples enjoyed browsing and bonding over great finds.
  • A serene cruise on the James River, offering breathtaking views and peaceful moments on the water.
  • Dining and fellowshipping with other couples, sharing laughter, stories, and spiritual encouragement.

This trip wasn’t just about sightseeing—it was about strengthening the bonds of love and faith. As couples walked the cobblestone streets and explored the colonial past, they were reminded of the timeless beauty of commitment and companionship.

“Let all that you do be done in love.” — 1 Corinthians 16:14

“Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” — Aristotle

We thank God for the joy, unity, and renewal this trip brought to our ministry. May the memories made in Williamsburg continue to inspire deeper love and connection in every couple’s journey.

Video Ministry recording provided by Church School Superintendent Brother Robert Lucas 
John 1:43–46 (NIV)
43 The next day Jesus decided to leave for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, “Follow me.”
44 Philip, like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethsaida.
45 Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
46 “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. “Come and see,” said Philip.

🎣 Gone Fishing – A Summer Pause in Ministry Activities

As we embrace the warmth and restfulness of summer, we want to let you know that many of our regular church activities will be taking a brief pause during July and August. This includes ministry events and virtual Bible studies.

But just like seasoned fishers know when to cast their nets and when to rest by the water, we too are taking this time to refresh and renew.

What’s Still Happening:

  • 🕘 Church School – Every Sunday at 9:00 a.m.
  • 🙌 Sunday Morning Worship Service – Every Sunday at 11:00 a.m.
  • 📅 Special engagements on the Pastor’s calendar will continue as scheduled.

We encourage everyone to continue in personal prayer, study, and reflection during this time. Let this season be one of spiritual rest and renewal.

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”
— Matthew 4:19 (NIV)

We look forward to resuming our full schedule of activities in September. Until then, may your summer be filled with peace, joy, and safe travels.

Enjoy your summer—and happy fishing!

thank you


Pastor wants to thank the Church Family for supporting him and 1st Lady today, it was much appreciated God Bless Each of YOU 💓💙🙏🏾👏🏾


Sunday Morning worship service | sermon message "the heart of the matter is a matter of the heart." | sermon text 1 proverbs 4:23-27 | preached word of god by minister phyllis pollard

Video Ministry Recording provided by Church School Superintendent Brother Robert Lucas

Here’s Proverbs 4:23–27 from the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible:

23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
and be steadfast in all your ways.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
 keep your foot from evil.

This passage emphasizes the importance of inner integrity and intentional living. It encourages guarding one's heart, speaking truthfully, staying focused, and walking wisely.

Sunday Morning worship service | sermon message "give thanks to god." | sermon text 1 thessalonians 5:1-8 & 18 | preached word of god by rev. angelo giles

Video Ministry Recording provided by Church School Superintendent Brother Robert Lucas

📖 1 Thessalonians 5:1–8

1 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,
2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

🙏 Verse 18

18 Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
