Pastoral Emphasis from 9/23

I encourage everyone to vote in upcoming November elections: Most Cary residents will be able to vote for at least two of the candidates--the mayor and an at large representative. Others will be able to vote for three, depending on their district--B or D. Mt. Zion is in district B. If you missed the deadline for voter registration, you may register and vote during One-Stop Absentee Voting. More details on Community Connection section of website. Don't forget that our Sacrificial Giving Campaign ends at the end of November. Thank you for your faithful giving and fulfillment of your vows to God. Countdown to Transition: Our very last service is next Sunday at 4pm. The Building Dedication/Open House is Oct. 6 from 10am to 12pm. The first service at our new location ( 316 Allen Lewis Drive ) is Oct. 7 (Sunday School at 8:30am and Worship Service at 9:45am) Pray21 Week 2 Review: This week should have helped you understand that God values us. Every Christ-follower is safe and

Pastoral Emphasis from 9/16

The Youth Ministry will be presenting information to the Parents who have Teens interested in participating in the Teen Male Mentoring program on Mon. Sept. 17th at 7:00pm in the sanctuary. This important meeting will outline the activities and requirements for participating in the program. Pray21 Week 1 Review: This week should have helped our youth gain confidence in God and themselves as God's gifted, Spirit-empowered children. They should believe the truth...each Christ-follower is custom-designed for a vital kingdom purpose on earth, destined to make an eternal impact with their lives. God will take whatever we have whether it's a lot or small and multiply it. Everyone must take God’s power seriously. He can accomplish great things through you. Hand your doubt over to God. Spend quality time with God to strengthen your relationship with Jesus Christ.

I wanted to bring some awareness to the Jena 6 for those who are not familiar with the situation. At least three charter buses will be leaving Durham, NC for Jena, Louisiana, on September 19 to join thousands of others in a rally in support of the first of the Jena Six to be sentenced. North Carolinians will join thousands of others from Atlanta, Dallas, Washington D.C, Birmingham, Tallahassee and dozens of other cities in a protest rally outside the LaSalle Parish Courthouse. Tickets for the round-trip bus ride are $120 per person. Visit our community connections section for further details. They say it takes 21 days to establish a habit. That’s one reason we’re challenging adults and young people in this church to spend 21 days together (praying and fasting), laying a foundation for a 365-day-a-year, til-death-do-we-leave-this-earth commitment to God and His mission. This first week's overall theme is &quo

Privacy/Security Issue: Google and Your Phone Number

Please be aware of the following info in the email listed below. Basically, if you have a non-private, listed number, Google can do a reverse lookup on the number to find the address. Then you can click the map link which will bring up Google Maps (not Mapquest as stated in the email) for directions to the address. Obviously, people could look up your name in a phone book (if listed), get your address, and then get directions online. But this brings an interesting privacy/security issue with our youth who often give out their phone numbers online. This would make it very easy for predators to google a child's phone number to get directions to the child's home. I suggest everyone try this out for their phone numbers and opt-out if you so desire. And also talk to your children about not giving out their phone numbers to strangers. -----Original Message----- Subject: FW: Google & phone numbers Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a

Parents and teens... 21 days of prayer is coming next Sunday. Next Sunday is the deadline to sign up for Spiritual Enrichment. We are in the home stretch of moving into our new facility. September is going to be a busy month. Furniture and equipment will be arriving and ministry training and orientation will be taking place each Saturday. Each ministry should have been informed to their training dates. If not, please contact the church office. Please continue to pray that everything comes together according to plan and we will be prepared for our first service in October. I hope everyone will have a happy and safe Labor Day. If you have the day off, enjoy it with family and friends.
