Mt. Zion Update 3/24/20

Mt. Zion Family,

Our prayer is that you all are doing well spiritually, physically, and emotionally as we shelter in place during this pandemic. In light of our governor closing all schools until May 15 and the continued direction of our health officials, we are going to extend the cancellation of in-church gatherings and activities past the initial 15 days that we announced on 3/16. So for the near future, we'll continue to have Bible Study and Prayer Rallies on WebEx and our Sunday services on Zion Live and Facebook Live until we hear that it's clear for us to start gathering again.

Please continue to give your tithes, offering, and love offering. As usual, you can do online giving via PayPal. You can also mail your giving to the church or drop it off at the church this week during our food donation drop-off times. And we have added a new online giving option: Cash App! Mt. Zion's Cashtag is $mtzioncary.

To give via Cash App:

Open the Cash App
Enter the amount
Tap Pay
Enter $mtzioncary
Enter what the payment is for: Tithes & Offering, Love Offering, Sacrificial Giving, or Special Events
Tap Pay

We are also anticipating that we'll have our Sunrise Easter service online. But instead of starting at 6 am, we'll start at 7 am. And we will still celebrate the Lord's Supper on Easter. We're asking members to stop by the church to pick up communion kits. This week you can pick up your communion kits at the church during the food donation drop-off times. If you're not able to pick up a communion kit from church, you can use bread (preferably unleavened bread like a tortilla) and wine or grape juice.

After this week, here are the times that the church will be open for members to drop off their giving or pick up communion kits: Mondays and Wednesdays, 6-7 pm and Saturdays 10 am - 12 pm.

We are facing unprecedented times but we know that God is neither surprised by or powerless to control the Coronavirus pandemic. Please pray for us as the elders of the church that God would grant us the wisdom on the best way to serve and shepherd you all during this time of social distancing. If you have any questions or need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out to us or your deacon. Continue to pray for one another, those who have been severely impacted by the pandemic, and that God would be glorified in this circumstance. We love you all.

Your servants in Christ,

Pastor Willie Harris
Elder Wayne Bullock

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 ...

My Hope Sunday, M:T Not a Competition, Prayer Gathering (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/13)

Today was My Hope Sunday ! We had several invited guests, and my message was from 1 Samuel 8:4-9 on "Looking for a Savior". Israel wanted a king like the other nations who would “save” them. This is the very definition of a functional savior. A functional savior is anything or anyone a person looks to for ultimate hope, security, identity, or fulfillment in place of God. Whatever you look to to “save” you from your problems, fears, or insecurities is your functional savior. But all of our functional saviors cannot save us. Jesus is the Savior we really need! Our greatest need in this life and the life to come is to have our sins forgiven by trusting in Jesus as our Lord and Savior! Today, my wife shared her My Hope Testimony .
