Mt. Zion Family and Friends,
Can you feel it? There's excitement in the air. I am excited about the awesome work that God is doing in our lives. As we seek to put into practice our spiritual gifts by "living out God's purpose" in our lives, we see the mighty hand of God at work. In 1998, the late Pastor J Allen Lewis, under God's direction, had the church purchase 24 acres of land in Cary. Now seven (a complete number) years later, the church has closed on a contract to sell a portion of the land and completely pay off the remaining acreage for our new facilities. God is truly worthy to be praised! It has been a long road to get to this point, but through faith and trust in God we have arrived here. Our next step is to get our site plan approved with the town and begin construction. As we move forward, we know that challenges will come, but we must continue to be committed and faithful to the One who is always faithful to us. Don't forget that your giving is important...not just because it's needed for our building project, but it's important so that you may obtain the great blessings God has in store for you by being obedient in this area of your life. Also, I'm overjoyed to see how God is helping His people to understand their purpose and the work that He has for them. This is truly an exciting time. God is giving us many opportunities to be obedient and receive His blessings. Don't miss it! Don't allow yourselves to be distracted by the enemy who desires to keep us from living the effective, abundant life for Christ. |

This moment represents years of faith, commitment, and sacrificial giving from this congregation. It’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and the dedication of His people. What we are celebrating today is not just the end of a financial obligation, but the beginning of new possibilities for missions, outreach, and service in our community. --- Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.’ This building has been more than just bricks and mortar; it has been a spiritual home where so many lives have been touched by the gospel. We recognize that while we’ve paid off the mortgage, it is the Lord who has truly built this house, sustaining us through every season. --- History of the Vision Though this chapter is closing, the mission God has ...
