YOUR CHANGE, CHANGES LIVES

See how the coins in your pocket can change someone's life.  Mt. Zion wants your loose change for lunches--MUST summer lunches that is!  Think about dropping a few coins from your pocket in the loose change jar located outside the chapel door near the upper room.  The jar will be there each Sunday in June and July as we see how Mt. Zion's "loose" change can help young kids in our community get a summer lunch from MUST.  Even a penny   can make a difference.   Get your kids involved too!
