Mt. Zion presents Seventh Day Adventist services
It Began in a Manger combine online and in-person
Please join us Sunday morning at 11 at Mt Zion as we
celebrate the birth of our Savior. We’ll be singing traditional
carols, as well as sharing some new songs, in our program
that’s based on It Began in a Manger by Max Lucado. Our
music selections will feature our entire Mt. Zion family,
from our choir and praise team to our children and teens. It
would be our honor during this hectic Christmas season to
spend an hour with you reflecting on how Christmas began.
For more information, please call Mt Zion Baptist at
(706) 692-6315.

The Jasper Georgia Sev
enth-day Adventist Church
currently has Sabbath
School morning Bible study
9:30 to 10:30 and church
service starting at 11 a.m.
every Saturday. Seventh Day
Adventists consider Satur
day as the Sabbath. These
services can be attended
both in person and online,
and we welcome people to
come to join us. However,
during this current wave we
feel we have a duty to warn
those in at-risk groups and
those living with someone in
an at-risk group to consider
joining us via video confer
ence rather than in-person.
At-risk groups include those
aged 60 and upward and
those with underlying health
conditions.
Head Elder Bob Strom taking prayer requests both
from the congregation and from online participants.
We’ve worked to make
the worship service more
convenient for those who
need to attend remotely so
that everyone can interact
during Sabbath School and
the prayer request time dur
ing the main services regard
less of how they attend.

Stressed Out?
By Rev. Asa Dockery
Mark 8 : 34, When He
had called the people to
Himself, with His disci
ples also, He said to them,
"Whoever desires to
come after Me, let him
deny himself, and take up
his cross, and follow Me.
-NKJV
Matthew 6 : 31 - 33,
"Therefore do not worry,
saying, 'What shall we
eat?' or 'What shall we
drink?' or 'What shall we
wear?' For after all these
things the Gentiles seek.

On Being Kind
I
“Be kind, for everyone you
meet is fighting a hard
battle. ” -Ian Maclaren
P erhaps the best reason to be
kind to others is the simple
fact that we are all struggling.
Even when it is not readily apparent,
we are all struggling on some level.
Struggling to pay the rent, struggling
to keep the house clean, or perhaps
even struggling to find the money to
buy our next meal. Even when
happiness or joy are the dominant
emotion, fear and anxiety are often
just below the surface. Buddhists
claim that desire is the root and
source of our suffering, but perhaps
it goes deeper than that. Perhaps
suffering and strife are built into the
universe, where nothing is ever truly
at rest. Being kind, however, lightens
the burden. A smile tells the other
person you care, and that you are
here to help, even if only with moral
support. Sometimes being kind,
however, means doing more than just
offering moral support. Sometimes
we must grab our tools and help
build the house, or pull the car out of
the ditch, or fix a meal that will feed
the grieving family. Our solidarity
with others gives meaning to our
suffering. If we were in this struggle
alone, life would be worse than
meaningless, but the smile from a
stranger reminds us that we are not
alone. And while it may feel like we
are facing some problems by
ourselves, there are almost always
others ready to lend a hand, if only
we reach out to them. Finally, God is
always there, and He understands
the battle you are fighting.
