Zoe's Kitchen, Why Life Groups?, Mother's Day Book Giveaway (Pastoral Emphasis for 5/4)

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 us to improve.

Don't forget the Mother's Day Book Giveaway.  Son, daughters, and dads nominate the mother in your life by submitting their name and why she is a good mother in 1 sentence or less. On next Sunday, we'll be giving away books, devotionals, and study resources to celebrate and encourage our mothers. Submission are due by May 9th. Submit them to me via email (pastorharris@mtzioncary.org), Facebook, or Twitter.  The mom must be present at the service and agree to read and use the book (or give away).

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 ...
