Bereavements, Ecuador Mission Trip, Spruce Up Stats (Pastoral Emphasis for 3/8)

We are currently fasting and praying as a church family for Lent. We are praying for personal and corporate revival in our church, and sacrificial giving.

During your prayer time, please remember a few of our members who are currently facing difficulties and bereavement...

  • Sis. Jackie Bradley broke her left ankle yesterday. She is recovering from surgery. 
  • Deaconess Peggy Credle's aunt has passed. She is traveling today to New York. 
  • Sis. Linda Spears lost a cousin and her brother has been diagnosed with lung cancer. 
  • Deacon Bowser lost his maternal grandmother. 
  • Hunter Family – Sis. Juanita Hunter's son (and brother to Sis. Sandra King & Thelma Hunter), Wilbert, passed last week. The homegoing service will be on Tuesday at Lincolnville AME Church. The viewing will be at 10am and the service will be at 11am. 



If anyone is interested in going on the Ecuador mission trip, then you must attend the upcoming commitment meeting on tomorrow at 6:30pm at Cary COG. If you have any questions, please contact our coordinator, Minister Matt Darby.

Thanks to all who came out for our Spring Spruce Up on yesterday.  We had a great turnout of 43 members: 32 adults (20 from leadership) and 11 children. Here's breakdown per zone...

  • Zone 1: 14 
  • Zone 2: 2 
  • Zone 3: 7 
  • Zone 4: 20 (shout-outs to my family and Smith families 'cause we roll deep) 
Total hours worked (collectively) is 106.16. the average per member is 2.46 hours. So at $25 per hour, we saved the church $2,654.00. Not bad for a Saturday morning.

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.
