National Day of Prayer Service, Spring Spruce Up Stats, Love Offering for Tornado Victims (Pastoral Emphasis for 4/29)


Thursday, May 3rd, is the National Day of Prayer. Pastors Praying Together (my prayer group) will have National Day of Prayer service on Thursday at 7pm here at Mt. Zion. Everyone is invited to join us and bring a friend.

A BIG thank you to all who came to help clean at our Spring Spruce Up. Here are some stats:
  • 41 attendees 
  • 1 visitor 
  • 4 children
  • 19 members from leadership
  • Total hours worked - 115
  • Total money saved by cleaning our entire church, vacuuming our floors, and shampooing our carpet - $2885.42. Our biggest savings ever!
  • We will have our next Spruce UP in the fall.
All members are asked to stay after service for our Church Family Meeting. We have important news to share.

Next Sunday, we're going to raise a love offering to help those who were impacted by the tornado in Greensboro. It touched down on the eastern side of Greensboro and left a path of destruction that was 33.6 miles long and roughly one-quarter of a mile wide. There are several churches in the area doing great work. We'll finalize this week on which one we will partner with. Please come prepared to give generously to the love offering next Sunday. If you want to give before then, make sure to put a note that says Greensboro Tornado.

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 ...
