Meet Your Deacon Day, A New "Branch" of Zion (Pastoral Emphasis from 5/11)

Our deacons are responsible for serving and caring for our members so we want to make sure all members know who their deacon is. Next Sunday will be "Meet your Deacon" day. This meet and greet will be right after service in Adult Classroom #3 and the New Members classroom. Light refreshments will be served.

Our current Bible Study series is "Spiritual Warfare". The next series will deal with getting out of the pit. To prepare for the series, go ahead and get the book that we will be discussing, "Get Out of That Pit" by Beth Moore. You can buy a copy or check it out from the library.

This year's Children's Day celebration will be June 7th and 8th. We need volunteers to help on Saturday June 7th with the various activities we have planned for the children. A sign up sheet is located at the Welcome Center and the children's classrooms. Please help us make this a great time of learning and fun for our children.

How many men want their lives to stand for something when they die? Like me, I believe most men would like their lives to have stood for something. I have a passion for our men to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Only when your heart has been changed for Christ can you truly have a meaningful life. Performance, wealth, status, possessions just won't cut it. Our Man in the Mirror conference, "Rewired: From Performance to Passion," on June 13-14 is going to be a life-changing event. I'm going to be there...men, will I see you?

God is manifesting another part of His vision for us. Mt. Zion is expanding its territory. I'm pleased to announce that Elder Snead will be planting his own church (I believe the name will be Christ First Christian Family Center) in Cary. We want to support Elder Snead through continued fellowship, prayers, and financially. So next Sunday, our love offering will be used to sow a seed into his ministry. His vision is centered on the wholeness of the family. I believe in that vision as it truly lines up with ours. When families are healed and made whole, we'll see better communities.
