Blood Drive, The Hidden Hand of God, Partnering with OCA (Pastoral Emphasis for 4/24)

On Saturday, April 30th, from 9:00am - 2:00pm, Mt. Zion is partnering with the Deltas and the Omegas to collect 40 pints of blood for a blood drive. Sign up today to donate at 1800-Red Cross or www.redcrossblood.org. Use sponsor code: Mt. Zion.  See Sister Tracy Downing for more information or grab a flyer at the Welcome Center.

We live in a culture that is increasingly hostile against God and His Word. Many want to ignore the Bible by saying that it was written by man. As Christians, we must be equipped to addressed some of the objections and questions about the Bible.  Join us for our upcoming FREE theological seminar on Saturday, May 7th, from 9:00am to 11:15am. Dr. Ben Merkle, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, will be teaching on "How We Got the Bible & Why It Can Be Trusted." Come out and learn about this important topic. Light refreshments will be served. Please register for the seminar online.

Next Sunday, we're starting a new sermon series on the book of Esther called "The Hidden Hand of God".  God is not mentioned at all in the book of Esther (the other is the Song of Solomon) but He is there orchestrating all of the events. I'm really looking forward to digging into this book. Join us and bring somebody with you.



We had our Church Family Meeting right after the service today. Danny Breed, the headmaster of Oak City Academy, gave us an update on what's happening at the school as well as ways that we can partner with them.  They are looking for a group of volunteers to help set up an art gala for the students on May 13th and for an OCA-Mt. Zion Liaison who can help the church stay informed about what the Lord is doing at OCA.

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
