Children's Day, Congrats to HS Grads, VBS Outreach (Pastoral Emphasis for 6/11)

Today was our Annual Children's Day service and our children did an AWESOME job presiding, praying, and singing.  Lydia Sallis was our speaker and delivered a wonderful message entitled "Are You A Disciple?" coming from Luke 6:12-16.



We recognized our two High School graduates, Ebony White and Delante Robinson, both graduating from Cary High!

We also acknowledged a couple of college graduates, Brittany Jones earning a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Studio Art from UNC at Wilmington, and Tikayla Downing earning a  Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor of Arts in African Studies UNC at Charlotte. Also Dorian Davis earned his second Master's degree from Indiana University.

Registration has started for our VBS that's scheduled from June 21 – June 25, beginning at 6:00pm. On Saturday, 6/24, we'll be doing community outreach. The time will be 1 to 3 pm. Mt Zion will visit nursing homes assigned to each zone. We are asking our members sign up for VBS outreach day. And guests are welcome to join us. The nursing homes are asking for donations and a list of the items are located at the Welcome Center and VBS registration table. Items should be placed in the baskets near the Welcome Center.

Next Sunday, my family and I will be leaving for our family vacation. We'll miss you all. We solicit your prayers for a safe trip. But you'll continue in the book of Mark, Following the Servant-King.

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.
