the Logos

For those who have not heard, our own Minister Candice Walden passed away last week. It was sudden and took us by surprise. We saw her last Sunday presiding over the service.  But what takes us by surprise does not surprise God for He is sovereign over all things. Our lives are but a vapor and the death of a saint reminds us that we must be on mission for God "while it is day for when night comes, no man can work" (John 9:4).  We know that Minister Walden loved God and trusted Christ and is in His presence now.  Let us pray for her children and entire family.  The Homegoing service will be at Mt. Zion on Tuesday at 2pm.  It will be preceded by a viewing at 1pm. Last week, we talked about how the world's religions teach salvation by works.  By religion, we mean "false religion".  Man's self-righteous attempts to reach God.  But Christianity is about the Person and work of Jesus Christ.  We are saved by grace alone through faith alone i...

Happy Father's Day to all the dads!  Fathers, may we strive to demonstrate (albeit imperfectly) unconditional love, grace, discipline, instruction to our children so that these concepts will not be foreign when we teach them about our Heavenly Father. Praise God for a wonderful VBS this year. And thanks to all the teachers, volunteers, and students for making VBS great! The next Bible Study series, "Restoring Our Vision of God," will start on Wednesday at 7:00pm.  How you view God will affect how you live. Join us for this new series. This month continues to be important for us to stay on budget. Thanks to all who sacrificed to give more. We are asking that you please continue to give at least 5% above your normal giving. If you are able to give more than 5%, please do so.

This is our last month for Project: Invite Thy Neighbor. The goal is to invite at least 1 neighbor to attend a service, event, or activity at Mt. Zion (preferably the neighbor that you got to know and served in the previous projects). There are church cards (size of business cards) that you can use to invite people at the Welcome Center. Next Sunday is our Children's & Youth Day. We will honor our high school graduates and our children will be leading us in worship and bringing the message. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite your neighbor. Another great opportunity to invite neighbors is our upcoming Vacation Bible School.  VBS is June 11 – 15th. Registration is underway. Cost: $10 Singles, $15 Couples, $20 Families. Join us to experience an exciting time of God's Word, fellowship, fun, and snacks. This month continues to be important for us to stay on budget. Thanks to all who have sacrificed to give more. We are asking that you please continue to give mor...
