Today was our Youth Sunday where our youth lead us in prayer, reading Scripture, and singing. Sis. Tracy Dunn , our youth director, delivered a special message to the youth (and all of us) to "Be greater than our Haters for God's Glory" from Matthew 5:5 .

I hate that I missed church today due to not feeling well but I was able to worship a bit via Zion Live . Big thanks to Elder Wayne Bullock for covering pastoral emphasis and baptism for me and Minister Brandi Hancock for bringing a wonderful word on "There is a Cost when You Carry the Cross" from Phil. 3:8-9 . We are currently looking into ways that we can help and serve those who have been affected by Hurricane Florence . We'll probably start collecting items this week for donations. I'm happy to see that some of you have already started helping in your own way. In fact, Elder Sean Cherry is in Wilmington now volunteering through the Baptists On Mission organization. Let's continue to pray for those affected by the storm. Don't forget to sign-up for PRAYER 2018 on 10/2, from 7 pm to 9 pm at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium. PRAYER 2018 is a city-wide prayer rally where over 100 churches will gather to worship and pray together. Mt. Zion has 24 seats r...

We are so very thankful that God was merciful to us in the Raleigh area to not have much damage and flooding. Flooding is a major problem for other areas like New Bern. And it's not because we are better or more righteous than others that we were spared but God was gracious and merciful to us. In fact, we are thankful that God decreased Hurricane Florence down from a category 5 to a category 1.  The damage could have been much worst if Florence had been a cat 5! We also prayed for those affected by the hurricane. More than 814,000 people are without power, many people have been dislocated, and 14 people have died as a result of the storm . As the church, we will be looking for ways to we can love and serve our neighbors in the aftermath of the storm. We don't want to be like the priest and Levite who saw the need of the person but passed by anyway. We want to be like the good Samaritan who had compassion and helped even at great cost to himself. Jesus told us to go and d...

Zion had the privilege of participating with several other area churches to sing and pray for our community.  We hope that we can continue to do these in the future. We were happy to have Bro. Keith Gregory, a former member of Mt. Zion,  join us for worship.  Bro. Gregory is a Superior Court Judge. J...

Next Sunday is Mission Triangle where several churches are coming together for a community outreach and prayer rally in honor of 9/11 at Cary Towne Center. From 2 to 4 pm will be games and activities for the entire family. From 4 to 6 pm will be the prayer rally featuring a mass Gospel choir, prayer, and a Gospel presentation. Please invite people, volunteer to serve , and pray for the community to attend and people will be saved. Join us for our Church-Wide Prayer Gathering on Tuesday from 7 to 8pm. There are great benefits to corporate prayer. If you cannot attend, you can submit your prayer requests online . Please continue to pray for those who are still experiencing bereavement. Bro.
