Starting a new chapter
A new chapter is opening in the 138-year history of Mount Zion CME Church. At 3 p.m. Sunday (Feb. 17) the church will commemorate the dedication of its new $1 million sanctuary and educational facility at 414 East Union St., in Minden.
Bishop Thomas L. Brown Sr., presiding prelate of the Fourth Episcopal District, will be the guest speaker.
The church, founded in 1870, was burned in the early morning hours of July 20, 2005. Since then the congregation has held services first in the chapel of Benevolent Funeral Home and later in the 14th District Building.
Now, nearly two years after the June 6, 2006, groundbreaking, the congregation is ready for its new home. The sanctuary seats 290 people and an adjacent educational building will be used for senior activities and tutorial programs.
Come out and help the Mount Zion congregation celebrate its new home.
