Prayer Requests, Watoto Choir in Concert, Holiday Extravaganza (Pastoral Emphasis for 12/4)

We have much to pray for.  Please pray for the following:

  • Bro. George Beamon, a former member and the nephew of Deacon Wes & Sis. Donita Harrison was shot and killed recently in Durham. Please keep the Beamon, Harrison, and Durden families in your prayers during this tragic loss. 
  • Sis. Cynthia Aldridge's sister passed from cancer. 
  • Deaconess Shirley Smith is currently recovering from surgery at Wake Med in Cary. She is doing well. 
  • Update: Bro. Dominick Downing is doing well and his strength is getting better. He is thankful God saved his life and wants to live his life for his Lord and Savior. Continue to pray for his recovery and physical therapy. 
  • Update: Sis. Juanita Hunter had a good week. She is doing well and her will-power is strong. Continue to pray for her and her daughters, Sis. Thelma & Sandra, as they care for her. 



Last year, Mt. Zion hosted the Watoto Children's Choir from Uganda. They will be back in Cary in concert on 12/10 at 6:30pm at Pleasant Grove Church. They are a must see!

New Dimensions along with the Pastors Praying Together Group (my prayer group) are having a Christmas Holiday Extravaganza on 12/17 at 4pm. It will be an evening of worship, music, and sacred arts. Sovereign Grace Church in Apex will be hosting it. The admission "price" is a new unwrapped toy or Hurricane Matthew relief item.

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 ...

My Hope Sunday, M:T Not a Competition, Prayer Gathering (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/13)

Today was My Hope Sunday ! We had several invited guests, and my message was from 1 Samuel 8:4-9 on "Looking for a Savior".  Israel wanted a king like the other nations who would “save” them. This is the very definition of a functional savior. A functional savior is anything or anyone a person looks to for ultimate hope, security, identity, or fulfillment in place of God. Whatever you look to to “save” you from your problems, fears, or insecurities is your functional savior. But all of our functional saviors cannot save us. Jesus is the Savior we really need!  Our greatest need in this life and the life to come is to have our sins forgiven by trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Today, my wife shared her My Hope Testimony .   (RSS Subscribers: click here to watch the video) Missions:Together’s "Not a Competition" is a powerful missions gathering designed to re-ignite your passion for missions on Saturday, November 2, hosted at The Summit Church in Apex.
