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
Elder Sean Cherry
Elder Bobby Dunn
Elder Roderick Harrison

Youth Sunday, J. Allen Lewis Scholarship Winners, A Word to Our Graduates (Pastoral Emphasis for 6/14)

Today was Youth Sunday , where our children and youth were leading and participating in the worship service. Our children read scripture, prayed, sang, and ministered a fine arts piece. We heard a message from a youth speaker, Abigail Campbell, who encouraged us to work hard and leave the rest to God. Celebrating Our Graduates We also recognized and celebrated all of our graduates. Whether you completed high school, earned a college degree, completed graduate studies, or achieved another educational milestone, we rejoice with you and thank God for your hard work and perseverance.
