Prayer 2016, Gospel Light in Deep Darkness, Elder-Led Prayer (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/21)

Mark your calendar for Prayer 2016 on 9/20 from 7-9pm at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. Mt. Zion has 22 seats reserved. We'll have online registration available this week but if you want to reserve today, please contact with our coordinator, Sis. Sandra Broadwater.



Zone 4 members directed a service this afternoon at 2pm at Phoenix Assisted Care. The Fine Arts Ministry ministered and Bro. Jae Smith spoke on how to restore a relationship with God through faith in Jesus.


On next Sunday, we're starting a new series addressing depression, called "Gospel Light in Deep Darkness". This series will be for everyone: those who struggle with depression, those who love someone struggling with depression, and how people in the church can love, support, and help those struggling with depression.





Here are the topics that we'll cover in this series:
  • 8/28: Types & causes of depression; how depression feels 
  • 9/04: Finding hope even when your soul is downcast; importance of fellowship, role of medication 
  • 9/11: Finding purpose in depression 
  • 9/18: How to fight for joy even when one is depressed; importance of family and friends 
Pleases join us and invite others.  I'm also calling for a fast this week (Monday thru Saturday). Fast and pray for God to move mightily during this series and for those struggling with depression.

Everyone is invited to join us for Elder-led Prayer on Wednesday from 6:00pm to 7:00pm as we will focus on depression. If you have additional prayer requests, submit them online.

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 ...
