The great poet Maya Angelou once said “If you're going to live, leave behind a legacy". We marked the beginning of a month long celebration of our Seniors, whose shoulders we stand on with a brunch hosted by Big Zion AME Zion Church Live After Five Young Adults. From decorations, to cooking, serving and cleaning all was done by them! They even asked our guests to leave a note with inspiring words for the next generation! A special thank you to Ms. Lauren Otis with Mercy LIFE of Alabama for her wonderful and very informative presentation that many of our guests took advantage of. Stay tuned for our next event!

Big Zion AME Zion Church wants to thank Hembree Heating & Air Conditioning for the awesome work they did in our church! They replaced a more than 50 year old unit with two 20 ton Carrier Air Conditioner HVAC units! They were the only company in the city that could guarantee and actually do the work! Mr. Don Hembree personally checked on the progress almost daily and his employees were respectful and worked diligently to get the air working! They even worked from 9am to past midnight one day! This is phase 1 of our summer makeover! If you need a great, affordable and professional company for your HVAC needs, definitely call them.

Dating back to the mid-1800s, this church has just a few years on us 😉.

We’re proud to be able to keep this historic, downtown Mobile church cool, cozy, and comfy for many more years to come!
