Zionworks Meeting and unexpected excitement

From: Zionworks



Zionworks Meeting and unexpected excitement
 
  Hello saints!

  It's already Thursday night and I should have gotten this notice to you on Monday. Our next meeting, as voted on last week, will be this coming Sunday, May 1st, at The Atherton congregation at 2:00. We had discussed having a potluck for this coming meeting, but not this time. Hopefully next time. At the last meeting there was some unexpected excitement and enthusiasm among members to get on with the physical work of living independent of Babylon in a Zionic (Kingdom on earth) dedication. There was even some impatience to get on with it . People are ready to apply their God-given purpose and to be encouraged and enabled by each other in this Kingdom actualization. There was much talk of impending collapse of our socio-economic system and the collapse of our supply chain and the urgency to STOCK UP NOW in addition developing long-term means for staying alive and functional.

  The agenda for May 1st will include a presentation on practical sourcing of water and possibly a demonstration of several ways to purify it. There will be a presentation and demonstration on making emergency fire and a presentation on making emergency shelter. A prioritized to-do list will be brought to the meeting. Our web site is continuing to be built. Soon, we will be visiting a couple's innovative, independent-living farm. Thank you everyone for your sincerity and dedicated efforts to make this happen!  There is much to do to accomplish the Lord's work and directions. If we are dedicated and true to Him, it will happen. It won't be easy mentally, spiritually or physically. Nothing that is easy has any value, fulfillment or reward.

   Here is the agenda for the next meeting. If you want to, you may arrive early to visit and help set up. 

Welcome
