Celebrating Baptism, Summer Bible Study Series, Church Family Meeting (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/26)

Celebrating Baptism

Today is a joyful day as we celebrate the baptism of Jeremiah Sanon (17).

Recently, Jeremiah trusted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior, and today he publicly declares his faith through believer's baptism. Baptism does not save us; rather, it is a beautiful testimony of the salvation Christ has already accomplished in the believer's life. It symbolizes our union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection and serves as a public declaration that we belong to Him.

We rejoice with Jeremiah and his family and pray that God will continue to strengthen him as he grows in his walk with Christ. May his testimony encourage others to place their faith in Jesus and faithfully follow Him.


Summer Bible Study Series Concludes

This Wednesday marks the final session of our Summer Bible Study Series in the book of Isaiah.

Over the past several weeks, we have explored Isaiah chapters 40–44, discovering God's message of comfort and restoration for His people. We have been reminded of His faithfulness, His sovereign power, and His promises to sustain those who trust in Him.

If you haven't had the opportunity to join us yet, we invite you to come for this final evening together.

Our Wednesday schedule is:

  • Dinner: 6:00–6:50 PM

  • Bible Study: 7:00 PM

    • Adult classes

    • Youth classes

    • Children's classes

Please register in Realm so we can prepare enough food for everyone.

We look forward to one more wonderful evening of fellowship, encouragement, and studying God's Word together.


Church Family Meeting

Following today's worship service, we will hold our Church Family Meeting.

We ask all Mt. Zion members to remain after the service, as we have several important matters to discuss, including the election of members to our Board of Directors.

Thank you in advance for your participation. Church Family Meetings are an important part of our life together, allowing us to review what God is doing, conduct important business, and continue serving faithfully in unity as a church family.

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
