We Go Together with Christ, BSF, Invite for My Hope (Pastoral Emphasis for 9/17)

Join us for our Discipleship Journey at Bible Study. On Wednesday at 7pm, we'll look at what it means to go together with Christ. Jesus sends us out together in order to make disciples. Being a member of a local church is vitally important for disciples of Christ.

I want to encourage you to attend Bible Study or a Life Group but if your schedule does not permit it, you may want to check out Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) as a supplement to what Mt. Zion offers.  Deaconess Tracy Dunn, Sis. Kelly Smith, and Deacon Bobby Dunn gave on brief skit on their involvement with BSF. Please check with one of them if you have questions about BSF.

All of our members are asked to commit to inviting at least one unbeliever, un-churched, or de-churched person to join us at church for My Hope on 10/8. During that service, we will share the hope we have in Jesus Christ. Write down the names of those you are committing to invite on a commitment card. We will collect them on 10/1 and pray for these individuals. The topic will be on what makes Christianity different than all other world religions.

Deacon Perry Johnson shared his testimony about how grace and mercy has been sufficient throughout his life.


Today, the loving offering will go to help those who have been impacted by Hurricane Harvey. We will donate to hurricane relief efforts of Crossover Bible Fellowship Church in Houston, Texas. Please give generously to the love offering. If you are giving online, please make a note of "Harvey" or "Hurricane".

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...
