Update Contact Info, Stay Warm Drive, Holiday Extravaganza (Pastoral Emphasis for 12/9)

Happy Snow Day!  Due to the winter storm, we did not have church service but we were still able to worship and get God's Word via Zion Live.  Praise God for technology!


We are requesting that all members to update your address/contact information with the Church Office by emailing info AT mtzioncary.org. We would like to have this update by December 10th.

The Devoted Disciples need your help with collecting coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and socks for their "Stay Warm" drive for the homeless and those in need. Please support by donating these items by December 23rd.

New Dimensions and the Pastors Praying Together group will be having our Holiday Extravaganza again this year. It will be on Saturday, 12/15 starting 12 to 3 pm at Cary Church of God (on Evans Road). There will be food, fellowship, fine arts, as well as a collection for a Winter Drive & Hurricane Relief. So we'll be donating some of the items from our "Stay Warm" drive.

We were scheduled to cover how the Gospel heals those wounded by sexual assault and rape today as part of our "Wounded: How the Gospel Heals the Sexually Hurting" but since we didn't have church I decided to wait until next Sunday to give this message.  This type of message will be better served when we can gather together instead of being onlien.  Instead, I added a bonus message on "Overcoming Sexual Temptation".  If you missed it, you can watch it from the archives on Zion Live.

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...
