Last Day for Boxes for Shepherd of the Hills Mission - As our departure nears, we want to praise God that more than 150 of Mt. Zion's members have sponsored a child in WV. Now is the time to bring all of the school supplies to the churchby this Wednesday in the box that was provided. The boxes are being collected in alphabetical order in the rear narthex of the Sanctuary.
Men’s Fellowship Breakfast - There will be no Men’s Fellowship Breakfast in July or August. We will resume in September.
Events In the Next Few Days
20 Jul & 3 Aug, Operation Timothy Leader Training Workshop – Hopefully you have all heard of Operation Timothy by now. It is one of the evangelism/discipleship ministries we are doing here at Mt. Zion. Operation Timothy is a one on one Bible study where someone more knowledgeable about the Bible leads someone newer to the Word. You don’t need to be an expert on the Bible to do this. Mt. Zion will be holding a Leaders Training Workshop on 2 Tuesday evenings, Jul 20 and Aug 3, at 7:00 PM in Rooms 13-15 of the Education Building. Both meetings are part of one class, not two separate classes, so you should plan to attend both. If this sounds like something God is calling you to do, contact Bill Clark (410-877-3138) or Eric White (410-838-0074).
28 Jul, “Remembering the Life of Jesus in Keith Green” Web Event – We will begin with Praise and Worship at 7:00 PM in the Tent, then at 7:30 we’ll watch the web event celebrating the life and music of Keith Green.

Please come and encourage all those being baptized in the name of the Lord.
7 Aug, Swim Night – The Fellowship Committee has organized another swim night at the Fountain Green Swim Club, 1008 S. Fountain Green Rd. (Rt 543), Bel Air.
