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 do likewise.
Registration is now open for PRAYER 2018 on 10/2, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm 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 reserved. Sign-up online to get your seat.
