On Sunday, December 30, the youth will go out for our annual trip to Kanki and a movie. Sign up will end today, Sunday, December 22.

ZBCY Christmas Party

On Sunday, December 22, after the last Live Nativity show at 7:00, the youth will have their annual Christmas party. Make plans to attend! 

Youth Live Nativity

This Advent season, the youth will perform three shows of the Live Nativity on Sunday, December 22. We will need many participants to help these shows be a success! We will practice that afternoon before the shows.

The shows will take place at 6:00, 6:30, and 7:00. Please see Lauren with any questions.

Come hear all of our graded choirs sing their Christmas songs and present our gifts for our Christmas Benevolence families. Parents will also get to enjoy a Parent’s Sermon in the place of our Children’s Sermon on this night. It is a night sure to lift your Christmas spirit.

The title of this year’s Christmas Musical is This Is Christmas by Mary McDonald, orchestrated by Ed Hogan. You and your loved ones are invited to come and hear our wonderful Sanctuary Choir and special guest musicians as they prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ-child.

December 1 is the first day of Advent. We hope your family will return to the ZBC Fellowship Hall at 3:00pm to enjoy a time of fellowship while crafting your very own Advent Wreath. You can also receive our Advent Devotional, containing meditations lovingly written by our ministers and members, to use with your wreath throughout the season. Just bring your loved ones, a pair of pruning shears, and perhaps some holiday spirit!

ZBCY Thanksgiving Dinner 2024

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, November 26, as the night the ZBCY will be going out to dinner after the Thanksgiving service.

As we prepare to gather with loved ones for our Thanksgiving Holiday, it is appropriate that we gather together as a church to give thanks for God’s abundant blessings. We hope your family will join us for a special worship service Tuesday, November 26 at 7:00pm in our sanctuary.

Our Thanksgiving Service is experiential. During this service you will be invited to travel among a variety of stations around our sanctuary, and participate in small, creative expressions of worship. Our goal is to draw nearer to God through every small, sacred act.

It has been a while since our last Homecoming! We hope you and your loved ones will join us for a very special worship service as we give thanks for God’s blessings on ZBC’s past, present and future.

Worship will begin at 10:15am in our sanctuary. At the conclusion of our service, we will honor our former pastor, Rev. Jack Glasgow, with the title of Pastor Emeritus.

Following worship, there will be a covered dish luncheon in our Fellowship Hall. ZBC will offer the fried chicken and beverages. You’re invited to bring your favorite dishes and/or desserts to share! You can drop off your dishes as early as 8:30am Sunday morning. Also, be sure to bring your own serving utensils as the church only has a limited amount. Finally, please label your dishes with your name and the contents, especially if they contain food allergins, such as nuts.

The youth of ZBC will be hosting a luncheon for the veterans and their families on Monday, November 11 at 12:00 noon in the Fellowship Hall. Sign up below if you would like to help celebrate and honor our veterans. We will need all youth helpers to arrive by 10:00 AM in the Fellowship Hall to begin prepping. You may also use the additional RSVP link to sign up veterans and their guests by November 6.

ZBC Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat

Please join us on Sunday, October 27th from 4:00pm - 6:30pm for the ZBC Fall Festival!

There will be games, bounce houses, face painting, pumpkin painting and  hot dog dinner on our front lawn followed by our annual Trunk-Or-Treat! This event was a huge success last year and is a wonderful outreach event for the community! 

An event of this size takes a lot of helping hands... there are many ways to volunteer! We will need help setting up and breaking down, friendly faces at our church outreach table, candy donations and more. Please sign up for different volunteer opportunities by clicking below.

Candy Drive

 All families in our community are welcome to our Trunk or Treat event and with higher attendance comes a need for more candy! If you are not planning on participating by hosting a vehicle that gives out candy, please consider donating a bag (or five!) of individually wrapped candy to keep all our "trunks" stocked. Please drop off bags of candy at the church office by lunchtime on Sunday, October 27th.

After worship, our students in grades 8-12 will travel together to downtown Raleigh for lunch at the Morgan Street Food Hall. Bring cash for food. We’ll return around 1:15pm.
