Bereavements, First Church Family Meeting, Ordination Service (Pastoral Emphasis for 1/31)

There are several families at Mt. Zion currently experiencing bereavements.  Please pray for the following members:
  • Deaconess Rhonda Spivey's father (who was a pastor) died on Friday night 
  • Deaconess Tasha Smith (loss of an aunt) 
  • Sis. Brenda Tyrance (loss of grandbaby) 
  • Evangelist Tayon Dancy (loss of cousin) 
Join us again this Wednesday at 7:00pm for our Bible Study series, "The Promised One: Seeing Jesus in Genesis". This week, we'll look at seeing Jesus in the Tower of Babel.

We held our first Church Family Meeting for the year right after the service today. We shared important info on 2016 ministry goals, last year's finances, an update to our Constitution and By-Laws, and a statement from the elders on the importance of regular church attendance.

At 4pm, we had an Ordination Service to ordain an Elder Sean Cherry and Deacons Tim Thompson, Henri Spivey, and Corey Smith. Pastor Daryl Cody, New Life Ministries of Apex, preached the ordination message on "A Few Good Men" from Rev. 3:11.  Pastor Cody encouraged the ordination candidates to hold fast to their beliefs, character, and teaching of the Gospel. Thanks to all on came out to support these brothers in their ministry. 

My Hope Sunday is 3/20. We are asking all members to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever/unchurched person to attend church with you. Sis. Phyllis Lewis shared how her hope in Christ helped her through a financial crisis.

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. Wheth...
