With loud praises to Jesus, Mt. Zion United Methodist Church marked its two centuries in Georgetown at a gala at the 22nd Street Marriott Sept. 30. Pastor Johnsie Cogman welcomed steadfast believers of the church, founded in October 1816 by 125 free and enslaved black Methodists as “The Little Ark.” Council member Anita Bonds proclaimed Mt. Zion day, and Achord, a men’s a capella group, led all with its inspirational music that includes R&B and Doo-Wop. Said Cogman: “Mt. Zion, I am so proud and honored to serve as your pastor. You have stood the test of time for 200 years. Continue standing, sowing and serving! God’s bountiful blessing for many more years. Our journey continues.” Can I get an Amen?
