Bereavement, 150th Anniversary Week is Here, Prayer 2015 (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/13)

With sadness, I announce that our former minister, James Wheeler, passed away and was buried on Saturday. Before moving away, Minister Wheeler played an important part of our ministry at Mt. Zion as a minister, singer in the Male Chorus, and Sunday School teacher. He will be fondly remembered. Please pray for the Wheeler family.

Congrats to the newlyweds, Caesar and Nicole Boone who were married on Saturday.

We are reading through the Bible as a church family this year. We're following the 52 week reading plan. We are on week 37.

Our Anniversary Week is here! Here's what's happening this week...
  • Old Fashioned Revival – 9/16 starting with Hors d'oeuvre at 6pm and the service at 7pm. Pastor Larry Snead will be our speaker.
  • Anniversary Play – 9/18 at 7:00pm.
  • Anniversary Gala – 9/19 at 7pm. Sunday was the last day to purchase a ticket.
  • On Sunday, 9/20, Pastor James White will be our guest speaker to celebrate my 13th pastoral anniversary.
Mark your calendars for this year's Prayer 2015, the area-wide prayer rally will be held at Memorial Auditorium, Raleigh, on Tuesday, October 6th, from 7 to 9pm. The event will be led by a group of area pastors, with many different churches across denominations and ethnicities participating. Mt. Zion has 25 reserved seats available. You may sign up online if you would like to participate. Contact Sis. Sandra Broadwater for questions.

Speaking of prayer, we've moved the prayer request box to the small desk at the back of the sanctuary (on the right side as you leave) hopefully for ease of access. So feel free to drop off any prayer requests and we'll pray for you.

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.
