Highlights of A Summer of faith, fellowship, and Community
2026 Vacation Bible School
One of the highlights of the summer was our 2026 Vacation Bible School, themed “Minecraft: Building God’s Kingdom One Block at a Time.” Children, youth, and adults spent three exciting evenings learning how God’s Word gives us the tools we need to build strong lives of faith. Through Bible lessons, crafts, recreation, music, fellowship, and plenty of laughter, participants were reminded that every strong life begins with a strong spiritual foundation.
Community Block Party
We brought VBS to a joyful close with our Community Block Party, where families gathered for food, games, inflatables, fellowship, and fun. It was a wonderful opportunity for our church family to welcome neighbors, celebrate our children, and simply enjoy being together.
Hands and Hearts Community Block Party in Raeford, North Carolina
Our summer of service continued as we joined the Laurinburg District Hands & Hearts Community Outreach Project in Raeford. Churches, community organizations, health agencies, businesses, volunteers, and ministry partners came together with one purpose: to serve people with love.
Little Marsh Chapel was blessed to support this district initiative through donations, volunteers, and 32 packed book bags for children preparing to return to school. The outreach also connected families with valuable health, safety, financial, mental health, and community resources.

These moments were about much more than events on a calendar. They were about relationships. They were about children smiling, families being welcomed, volunteers serving side by side, churches working together, and the community seeing the love of Christ in action.
We are grateful for every member, ministry leader, volunteer, parent, community partner, business, and friend who helped make this summer so special. Whether you donated supplies, packed a book bag, taught a class, served food, set up a table, shared information, supervised children, prayed, gave financially, or simply showed up—you helped make an impact.
"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans." — Proverbs 16:3

The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church professes the historical faith in God, who by Himself – outpouring, was manifest incarnate in Jesus Christ for our salvation. By God’s grace and the power of His Holy Spirit all believers become the new humanity. The incarnation having reached its completion in Jesus, who is the Christ, is continuing in the Church and is overcoming the calamity of the human predicament. We strive in the hope that the Church will grow from sinful existence through purification to oneness with God.
Our Heritage in doctrine and our present theological task demand that we renew our faith and understanding of the love of God, our Father, and the Lordship of His Son, Jesus. We believe that all who have faith in Him will be empowered and invigorated by the Holy Spirit to risk all for the reconciling work and fulfillment of the Kingdom of God.
