Cary Unity Walk, Seeing Jesus in the Prophets, CFCFC Sweethearts Gala (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/30)

Thank you all for your generous donations for our Supply Drive to help families who have been impacted by the flooding in Eastern NC. Let's keep the donations coming. And thanks for the donations to the Simply Suits Drive as well. Fathers Forever have picked up a full rack of suits so we have room for more. They also have need of more dress shirts. Both drives are scheduled to end on 11/12. Speaking of 11/12, on that day, there will be a Unity Walk in Cary.  We want to have a good group from Mt. Zion participating.  We're asking everyone to wear their Mt. Zion t-shirts (150th anniversary or this year's theme). There is a $15 registration fee which will go to benefit two non-profit organizations, The 200 Club of Wake County and Read & Feed, that serve many needs in our community.  Even if you cannot pay the registration fee, they will not refuse you from participating. Go here to get more details and register. We have a new Bible Study Series starting on 11/2.

Simply Suits Drive, Supply Drive for NC Flooding Victims, Twisted 3 (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/16)

Congrats to our newer members, Daquon and Ch'ressa Johnson on getting married yesterday. Praise God for My Hope Sunday! Thanks to all who invited and had guest here.  I've already heard about some of the great conversations afterwards about how the message and videos really hit home. As follow-up, talk with your guest about the sermon and their experience.  If your guest come to faith in Christ, we have materials that you can use to provide follow-up and discipleship . From Oct. 23 to Nov. 12, we'll be having a Simply Suits Drive where you can bring in your used men's suits (that you've outgrown) to be donated to the Fathers Forever program, whose mission is to provide suits for men in unfavorable circumstances while working towards self-sufficiency.  In the Fathers Forever program, the men are setup with job interviews but they often don't have suits.  In addition to suits, you can donate dress shoes & socks, shirts, ties, and overcoats.

My Hope Sunday, Renewal Service, Brown Bag Ministry (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/9)

My Hope Sunday was great! God was praised, the Gospel was preached, and people fellowshipped.  The topic was "Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People?" coming from Luke 13:1-5 . But the reality is that there are no "good" people.  We are all "bad" (i.e. sinners) who need a Savior. The only good person is Jesus. Jesus died for our sins and rose for our victory. When bad things happen, it should cause us to repent and trust in Jesus. Now may the Holy Spirit cause the seed of God's Word to grow in those who heard it! A big shout-out to the only food truck that came after the service: Apex Peak Bar-B-Que !! The food is always great! We are having a one-night Renewal Service on this Wednesday, October 12th, at 7:00pm. Dr. Leonzo Lynch, Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, Charlotte, will be the guest speaker. Everyone is invited to join us for this special service. Please join the Children's Ministry as they serve at the Brown Bag Ministry on Sa
