We are reading through the Bible as a church family this year. We're following the 52 week reading plan. We are on week 5.

Sis. Juanita Hunter's son, Wilbur Hunter, has been hospitalized and is in intensive care at Cary Wake Med. He has been diagnosed with lung cancer and pneumonia. Please pray for Wilbur and the family.

Men of Mt. Zion, lend us your voices! Our Male Choir needs you. They will be singing next Sunday and would like to challenge more men of the church to step up and join them for rehearsals on Thursday at 7pm and Saturday at 10am.

Join us this Wednesday for a month long of Wednesday Family Worship. Starting at 6pm, we will fellowship over a meal, have praise and worship, and then bible study. We'll be studying 1 John. And we'll be done by 8pm.

The Watoto Children's Choir concert is this Saturday at 4pm. We are anticipating a very large crowd. Since we want to accommodate our guests, I'd like to ask our Mt. Zion family to be prepared to let our guest have seats. We can use the MPR and other areas with monitors as overflow.

We're having another book giveaway, this time for our singles! I want to show our singles some love. Singles, you can nominate yourself by sending me an email at pastorharris AT mtzioncary.org, send me a message on Facebook or Twitter.

If you were at the Church Family Meeting then you know that we only missed last year's budget by a few hundred dollars. For that we give God praise! Thanks to all who gave sacrificially. In order to not get in the same situation this year as well as focusing on reducing our mortgage, we are asking all of our members to continue to give at least 10% above your normal giving (tithe/offering). We'll be communicating more details about this in the weeks to come. Another good reason to make sure your email address is up-to-date in our records.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
