Homegoing Service for Sis. VanFoote, Cary Unity Walk, Fall Spruce Up (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/6)

For those who have not heard yet, our dear sister, Claudette VanFoote went home to be with our Lord on Thursday. We are sorrowful because we will miss her but yet we are joyful because we know she is in the presence of the Lord Jesus. And in the presence of the Lord, there is fullness of joy! Her home-going celebration will be on Friday, 11/11 at 11am with the viewing starting at 10am.

Don't forget to exercise your right to vote on Tuesday if you didn't do early voting. But let me repeat what I've said before...our hope is not in a donkey or elephant but in a lamb...the Lamb of God!

You have one more week (until 11/13) to bring your donations for the Supply Drive to help families who have been impacted by the flooding in Eastern NC as well as donating men's suits, dress shirts, socks, and shoes for the Simply Suits Drive.

On 11/12, there will be a Cary Unity Walk that we want Mt. Zion to participate in. 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. According to the website, the registration fee goes up on 11/10. Even if you cannot pay the registration fee, they will not refuse you from participating. Grab a flyer at the Welcome Center for more details.

 Mark your calendar for our Fall Spruce up on 11/19 from 9am to 12pm.

We now have a box at the Welcome Center where you can drop off unused offering envelopes. Help us save money by not throwing away unused envelopes!

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...
