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!

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 ...
