Faith in Action Survey, Discipleship Training, Volunteer in Children's Church (Pastoral Emphasis from 10/18)

Faith in Action was last Sunday (I hope to give my reflections sometime this week) and I want to thank all who participated. If you volunteered during Faith in Action, please take a brief online survey about your experience. I encourage everyone to continue to look for ways to serve and put your faith into action. If you want to find out how to plug into Mt. Zion, we will have a volunteer expo at the One Body Family Fun on Oct. 31st. Representatives from various ministries will be there to discuss and answer questions about their ministries.

Do you want to make a positive impact in the lives of others? Learn how to be a spiritual guide by attending the Discipleship Training on Sundays, November 1-22, 2009 from 8:30am to 9:30am in Adult Classroom 2. The Disciple-makers' Handbook by Alice Fryling will be used. Youth & Adults can sign up for this training at the Welcome Center. The deadline to sign up is next Sunday, October 25th.

I am pleased to announce that Deacon Keith Patterson will present his Initial Sermon on next Sunday, October 25th, at 4:00pm. Everyone is invited to come out and support him as he steps out in his calling.

We ask all parents who have children that attend our Children's Church to volunteer in Children's Church so since I'm a parent, you won't see me in the service next Sunday as I'll be volunteering in Children's Church. Please pray for your pastor!! :-)

Mortgage Burning Ceremony (10.6.24)

Today is a day of celebration and gratitude as we come together to witness the burning of our church’s mortgage! 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 ...

My Hope Sunday, M:T Not a Competition, Prayer Gathering (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/13)

Today was My Hope Sunday ! We had several invited guests, and my message was from 1 Samuel 8:4-9 on "Looking for a Savior".  Israel wanted a king like the other nations who would “save” them. This is the very definition of a functional savior. A functional savior is anything or anyone a person looks to for ultimate hope, security, identity, or fulfillment in place of God. Whatever you look to to “save” you from your problems, fears, or insecurities is your functional savior. But all of our functional saviors cannot save us. Jesus is the Savior we really need!  Our greatest need in this life and the life to come is to have our sins forgiven by trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Today, my wife shared her My Hope Testimony .   (RSS Subscribers: click here to watch the video) Missions:Together’s "Not a Competition" is a powerful missions gathering designed to re-ignite your passion for missions on Saturday, November 2, hosted at The Summit Church in Apex.
