Each summer, my grandmother’s family celebrates a reunion. On the last Sunday of July the Sherrill/ McLaughlin family reunion takes place at Olivet UMC in Cherokee, NC. After the morning worship service, we dig into some great country delicacies such as homemade fried chicken, mash potatoes and gravy, fresh vegetables and salads of all kinds. The dessert table is heavy laden with every kind of fruit pies, all varieties of cakes and my all time hometown favorite is Audrey’s vinegar pie!Upcoming Events

Relay For Life Fundraiser: Please come out and support Mount Zion's Young Adults as they raise money for Relay For Life Thursday, May 24, from 5pm-8pm at the Johns Hopkins Road Chick-Fil-A. PLEASE tell them you are there for “Spirit Night” and we will receive 20% of your order!!!!
The relay will be held June 1 & 2 at Long Reach High School. “Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives everyone in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At Relay, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length. Relayers do not have to walk all night, but each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event” You can make donations or better yet, if you want to be on our team register at http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY12SA?team_id=1161738... .
