THE LIU (pronounced LEE-UU)
A Heart to Love and Serve JOHN 13:35 STATES, “By this all will know that your are My disciples, if you have love for one another”.
M
ore than 50 Zion Hill members volunteered, and along side Dr. Parker, demonstrated love and discipleship on Thursday, May 21, 2020 at Welcome All Park. The City of South Fulton Mayor and City Council in Partnership with the Atlanta Food Bank, along with Corporate Sponsors, State Farm and Coca Cola Bot-
tling of the East Region sponsored “Feeding The City of South Fulton Community Drive-Through Food Giveaway”. The seed of Living to Love and Loving to Serve was once again planted and produced throughout the South Fulton Community when our members and Pastor worked tirelessly to organize the bags and boxes of nutritious food and distributed the items to those who were in need from 11:00 am-2:00 pm. Even though there was a constant flow, the food was placed in the cars with
Pastor Parker
love and an encouraging word was given. Our own Culinary Ministry participated by providing the volunteers with a delicious breakfast sandwich, juice, and coffee, as well as an enjoyable brown bag lunch, which was tasty and convenient. The charge of our motto reflects what God has placed on Zion Hill as we affirmed to serve and not be still, but always reach out as we dare to love our Brothers and Sisters as we love ourselves. We praise God for the gift of Jesus, who bars none to be in His service of love. n

CHURCH FAMILY
Acknowledgements May 2020 Your kind expressions of sympathy are deeply appreciated, gratefully acknowledged, and will always be remembered by:
port and encouragement of one another. What has occurred during this extended
time of unprecedented modes of operation has been nothing short of amazing. I know your petitions to God on our behalf and on behalf of each other has not waned, but has rather grown more fervent with each passing day. Additionally, we continue to meet all of our fiscal responsibilities in a timely manner due to God’s grace and your willingness to undergird this ministry with your faithful contributions. Furthermore, I receive reports of how you are maintaining contact with one another, sometimes just to inquire about each other’s wellbeing – this is a practice that I wholeheartedly recommend, not only in this period of tremendous challenge, but at all times. I want you to know that those of us who have been assigned the task of leading worship and the study of the faith are constantly seeking ways to improve our communications with you. Understanding that perfection in this area stands a long way off, we are taking some concrete, measured steps to make our online experience more meaningful and efficient. Let me once again remind those who cannot access the services online that you should notify the church office so we can send you a CD or DVD. Finally, as we travel on this dramatic life path that is being radically molded by the worldwide pandemic, COVID-19, and the colossal international movement for justice and equality, primarily led by enthusiastic and determined young people, let the rest of us do our part by supporting those who suffer from the still-very-present disease and also those who peacefully and powerfully march for the human rights of the historically disadvantaged and oppressed. In some ways we are already engaged in these crucial actions and will continue to do so in the future. Just one reminder: Please, if you have not already, vote, June 9, 2020. This political season is truly serious in that the very existence of the nation may depend on it. With all of this – unusual church, worldwide pandemic, international movement

for justice, voting urgency – we press on. We press on in a concerted effort to fulfill the
The Henley and Merrell Families
mission to which we believe God, the Creator and Sustainer, has called us as a body of
Brother Mike Newman and Family
believers. And of course that mission is summed up in our persistent mantra – “Living

Remembering Our Strengths
T
he lethal violence of racism is something that we’ve witnessed via the media over the last couple of weeks. The images we have seen have riveted our souls, though not the first encounter of this type of visceral experience for some of us. Watching the murder of another human is deeply traumatic; and has the ability to create long term injury to our psyche. Wounds always speak. How do we as an African American community heal from this particular type of trauma? Have we ever begun the healing process of whom those in the mental health community might deem as a diagnosis of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)? Dr. Joy Degruy Leary discusses potential strategies for healing that we might employ during this time in her book, Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome: America’s Legacy of Enduring Injury and Healing. Dr. Degruy indicates that, “It is through knowing who we are and what we are that we can identify our strengths and build upon them” (Degruy). Remembering our strengths is useful in helping us to heal from the historical injuries we have sustained. Although the dominant society has tended to perpetuate extremely negative images of African-Americans, we must hold to the fact that We are strong
people, with infinite resilience. “We are an industrious people” (Degruy). We have built communities and sustainable businesses under seemingly impossible situations. The black church is an institution built by African Americans. “We
spirituality are part of the building blocks we must employ to heal. Additionally, we must do the work necessary to build our self-esteem. What we believe about ourselves is central to our ability to heal, both collectively and individually. Holding negative beliefs about your values and skills, can sometimes lead to self-sabotaging behaviors. Conversely, having positive beliefs about your abilities and self-worth will inherently help you to successfully achieve your intended results. Building “our” own self-esteem and the self-esteem of our children is a crucial step in our healing. Since esteem means worth or value, self-esteem has to do with our evaluation of our own personal worth or value. One potential method that the essence of esteem can be determined is by simply asking the question: Am I creating or destroying? Dr. Degruy poses additional questions that we can ask ourselves regarding determin-
“ What we believe about ourselves is central to our ability to heal, both collectively and individually.” are a creative people” (Degruy). We have successfully created our own foods, music, art and fashion. Our ingenuity in these areas is mimicked by the dominant society and through-out the world. “We are a just and forgiving people” (Degruy). We have demonstrated for approximately 401 years that we are capable of courageously fighting for justice without being crippled with a sense of hatred and rage. “We are a spiritual, loving and hopeful people” (Degruy). After enduring centuries of the most vile and horrific abuses that were intentionally devised to break our spirits and our will, we remain both faithful to God. We still believe that God has the last say so in our struggle. Knowing ourselves is an important element in our healing and is crucial towards helping us to take our place on the stage of the world. Tapping into our industriousness, creativity, ability to endure and
ing if our self-esteem is healthy. “Have you discovered your unique gifts and shared it with others? Do things get worse or do they improve around you? Are others’ lives poorer or richer because you are alive? Do you make the world a better place? When people leave your company do they feel better than before they arrived? Did I make someone smile today” (Degruy)? These are simple yet effective questions that we can ask ourselves to aid in developing our self-esteem. We should also work to become more aware of the value we produce. Most of us do great things every day. However, we simply aren’t aware of them and often times don’t give ourselves due recognition. Attending to the positive impacts we have made greatly aids in eliminating the negative beliefs we may harbor that limit our self-esteem. —Rev. Kevin Jackson ZHBC Counseling Ministry ZHBC@zionhill.org |

Testing – Testing, 1 – 2
Our health is our wealth, For the sake of our neighbors, and ourselves Let’s get vested. It’s easy and free to go get tested.
R
ecent evidence about the prevalence of the deadly Coronavirus (Covid-19), and African Americans and Latinos being disproportionately affected, the Chair and the Zion Hill Baptist Church Health Ministry—with Dr. Parker’s approval—requested and received the green-light from the Fulton County Board of Health to perform testing for the coronavirus at Zion Hill Baptist Church. The Fulton County Board of Health conducted the free Drive-Thru Testing from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday May 19, 2020 and on Wednesday May 20, 2020 in the rear parking lot of the church. This quick and easy process went smoothly and we are happy to report that approximately 312 people were tested. Why did we encourage testing? Testing provides information about how prevalent the coronavirus is in the African American community. Remember, one can be totally asymptomatic and still be a carrier for the coronavirus. That is, one may be positive (+), spread the virus to others including your family and other close contacts and associates. In addition, with the
“ One can unwittingly or unknowingly carry the virus and spread it to others who may become very ill and even die. Remember, age and physical health do not prevent you from getting the virus.” knowledge of your coronavirus status, contact tracing and self-isolation with quarantining can be done so that mitigation of the presence and the risks of contracting the coronavirus can be achieved. The above information is very critical and we believe that it deserves your careful attention. Our key message as it relates to Coronavirus or COVID-19 is TEST! In April 2020, the CDC (The Centers for
8
| THE LIU
Disease Control and Prevention) reported that of the 305 hospitalizations in the 8 Atlanta area major hospitals in March 2020, at least 83% of those hospitalized were African Americans. Unfortunately, the rates of confirmed cases are highest in the African American communities with 14,913 confirmed cases in Georgia. It only comes to attack mucous membranes (nose, mouth, eyes, trachea, lungs, stomach, to name a few)
and wreak havoc on the body. This is why we encourage testing! In the beginning phase of this pandemic (involving multiple countries), testing was only available to those individuals who exhibited symptoms. These symptoms may include shortness of breath, fever, chest pain, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headaches, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, and a bluish discoloration of the lips or the face. Furthermore, in the inception of this pandemic with the coronavirus, the United States literally did not have enough personal protective equipment and supplies, so that our testing capacity did not and could not meet the rising demands
required to determine the prevalence of the coronavirus. Anthony Fauci, M.D., Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and other experts from the CDC, later realized and promulgated that although some individuals may not have symptoms, this status does not necessarily equate to a negative status for the presence of the coronavirus. You may be asymptomatic, so why should you care? You may even say, “I feel fine”. One can unwittingly or unknowingly carry the virus and spread it to others who may become very ill and even die. Remember, age and physical health do not prevent you from getting the virus. Expert epidemiologists and other relevant researchers believe that the virus spreads mainly from person-to person as follows: a. between people who are in close contact with one another (less than 6 feet) b. t hrough the transmission of respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These droplets can land in the
Dr. Jettie Burnett
mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs c. and, it may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms (asymptomatic)
The confirmed positive cases of 1.76 million and 103,000+ death cases in the United States prove that this virus is REAL and not imagined. Most notably, it has devastated our black community and this is a call to heed the warnings. According to the latest statistics, we currently have
45,572 confirmed cases, 1779 ICU admissions, 7838 hospitalizations and 1973 deaths in Georgia. In Fulton County alone, there are 4381 confirmed cases with 224 deaths. In Dekalb and Gwinnett counties, there are 3651/3647 confirmed cases and 112/127 deaths, respectively. It is not too late to be tested. We are proud to announce that we have coordinated with the Fulton County Board of Health to conduct additional drive-thru testing on Friday, June 12, 2020 from 9 AM to 4 PM at Zion Hill Baptist Church. Please call 404-613-8150 to preregister. Please note pre-registration is encouraged but not required. Feel free to share with everyone you know. —Shelby R. Wilkes, M.D., MBA Chair–Health Ministry/ZHBC and President: Georgia State Medical Association, Inc.; Nita Shaffer,Vice President Health Ministry Supervisory and Social Security Disability Program Specialist References: www.cdc.gov; www.dph. georgia.gov; www.worldometers.info

A
s a congregation and body of believers that embrace and execute the motto Living to Love and Loving to Serve, Zion Hill was once again able to exhibit that Love and Service. On Tuesday and Wednesday May 19-20, an area of the campus was used to host the Fulton County Board of Health as a COVID-19 drive through testing site. And on Thursday May 21, members from Zion Hill were among a group of willing workers that participated in the City of South Fulton Drive-Through Community Food Give-Away at Welcome All Park. During the aforementioned activities, the Zion Hill Culinary Ministry prepared lunch for the COVID-19 Board of Health staff, the Zion Hill staff and the City of South Fulton Food Give away volunteers. I am proud to say that there was an element of environmental awareness in that effort: the Grab-and-Go meals were served in recycled brown bags! Thanks to Chef Jacques Ficklin and his team and their use of environmentally friendly food packaging. It’s a blessing to know that as we care for one another, we also remember to do our part (big or small) to care for God’s Creation. n —Sis. Sandra Baylis, Planet Preservers
