Congratulations to our latest newlyweds: Troy and Yolanda Brooks and Minister James and Cecelia Wheeler!! Some of you should have received a new contribution statements in the mail because the amount for your sacrificial giving was incorrect. We apologize for the error and appreciate your patience as we corrected the problem and hope it didn’t cause too much of an inconvenience. Thanks for your generous giving in last Sunday’s love offering, we were able to give $1,000 to the family that lost everything in a fire. We are in the Lent season, which started on Ash Wednesday and goes to Easter. I suggest you fast by giving up something you enjoy and pray so that you can draw closer to God. We had a tremendous time at the Black History Program at the Bond Park Community Center. Everyone did an awesome job from the participants to the production. There was a lot of God-given talent being used and we learned some new things about some of our very own members who were actually making black his...

Today is Ash Wednesday which is the first day of Lent. We marked the foreheads of everyone at Bible Study with ashes. The ashes were prepared by burning palm leaves from the previous year's Palm Sunday celebrations and mixing them with olive oil. Ashes represent mourning and repentance. So during Lent, we should be repentant and draw closer to God. I would also encourage you to fast during Lent by giving up something dear to you.

For God so LOVED the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 This is how we know what LOVE is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 1 John 3:16

It was truly a historic occasion as we celebrated during our street dedication and groundbreaking ceremony on last Saturday. Some people say that miracles no longer happen. But we are in the midst of a miracle. In 1998, to facilitate a vision that God gave him, Pastor Jackie Allen Lewis led Mt. Zion to purchase 24 acres of land here in Cary with a small congregation. That was a miracle! Over time, we were able to make our payments and keep this land. That was a miracle! Then on the seventh year, we were able to sell a portion of the 24 acres, which allowed us to pay off the remaining portion that we kept. The number seven represents completeness. God brought us to completeness with the land so that we owned it. Then in year eight, we were actively planning and designing with Bobbitt to begin construction. The number eight represents regeneration or new birth. God was preparing us for the beginning of a new era. Now in 2007, the ninth year, we are breaking ground and construction is sta...
