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.

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
