Back to School Prayer, The Rhythm of Joy, Corral Riding (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/25)

 

Today, we did our Back to School Prayer for our children, parents, and school staff as they start a new school year.

 

Please pray for the following members who are experiencing bereavements:

  • Ch'ressa Johnson – passing of father
  • Deaconess Shirley Smith – passing of nephew in Georgia
  • Jason Fenner – passing of father
  • Aretha Cooper – passing of her uncle who was 88 years old

 

Mt Zion will participate in The Rhythm of Joy: A Gospel Experience on Sept 7th at 6pm at the Cary Arts Center. This is an opportunity to minister the word through music. It is also an opportunity to showcase North Carolina Gospel Artists & Choirs in an effort to support the regional talent. Please pick up a postcard in the lobby and invite a friend or neighbor to join you to hear some good music. Our worship ministry has been asked to sing in the Community Unity Choir. If you would like to sing in this choir, the first rehearsal will be held at Cary First Christian (1100 Evan Rd) on Aug 28th at 7pm. See Bro. Spence Martin & Sis. Ebony Mouzone for additional details. We will be sponsoring a coat & winter accessory collection for the students of Northwoods elementary school starting at 5pm. Donations should fit children from the ages of 4-11years old, sized accordingly in children/youth. Please see Sis. Kim Roberts for any questions. 

 

On Friday and Saturday, the elders and I had the privilege of praying for the staff, volunteers, facilities, and girls in the Corral Riding Academy program as they prepare to start their year. For those who don't know Corral Riding is a faith-motivated nonprofit that works with at-risk adolescent girls through a long- term, holistic program involving horses of and education to prepare for a bright future. We're excited to continue to partner with Corral Riding to outreach to these girl.
