School Backpack Outreach, Prayer 2012 (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/5)

We are partnering with another church in Cary called Mosaic Church for a School Backpack Outreach on 8/18.  So we're asking everyone to donate school supplies so that we can fill backpacks and bless some families who are less fortunate including some families at West Cary Middle School.  Click here to see West Cary's school supply list.  Sis. Linda Reynolds will be our coordinator. If you have any questions, you can contact her or the church office.

On Oct 16, there will be a City-Wide Prayer Rally called Prayer 2012 at Memorial Auditorium. Mt. Zion, along with many other churches, will be participating.  The purpose is to bring the Body of Christ together in prayer.  Another purpose is to join together and pray literally thousands of prayers, in one evening, for God to move in and through His Church.  Registration is happening now for churches to reserve a block (or blocks) for their people to sit together. Sis. Tammy Larkin is our coordinator for this event.  To reserve a seat, contact Sis. Larkin or the church office.

Thanks to all who attended the Church Family Meeting last week. For those who missed, another opportunity to get an update on our current financial situation will be our Town Hall meeting in September.

Your consistent and generous giving is important especially during the summer months. Please take advantage of online giving especially when you are traveling. If our members can continue to give at least 5% or more above your normal giving, it will help us meet our budget. Thanks to all who sacrificed to give more.

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.
