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.

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...
