Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers. But we should acknowledge that Mother's Day can be a tough day for many. Some of you have lost your mother.  Take comfort in God, our heavenly Father.  The Bible says that God watches over His people like a hen who protects her chicks under her wings.  If you are in Christ and your mother was in Christ, then you shall see her again. Some mothers have lost children (some by miscarriages or abortion).  God has mercy on children and I do believe you shall see your child one day in eternity.  And even if you have aborted a baby, there is forgiveness in Christ.  Christ can remove your shame and guilt. 1 John 1:9 (ESV): If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. There is no condemnation for those in Christ! There are some women who desire to have children but it has not happened yet.  Trust in the sovereignty of God and know that your self-worth and identity

Zoe's Kitchen has extended their fundraising support for our Ecuador Missions Trip.  Every Sunday, mention Mt. Zion when you purchase food and 15% of your order will go to our missionaries. Why did we start Life Groups? Life Groups are small groups where community exists. As Mt. Zion has grown is not always possible to build meaningful relationships on just Sunday mornings.  Life Groups provide a safe place for us to know others and be known by others, love and be loved, serve and be served, and to celebrate our walk with Christ together!  It is in Life Groups that we find understanding and support.  And it is also the place where we hope discipleship relationships will develop. We have a variety of Life Groups available now.  You can go to the Life Groups website or you can check with a discipleship ministry member for more details. We also would love your feedback regarding Life Groups (such as you're too busy; don't see a group that fits; etc). This will help u
