Happy Father's Day, New Children's Registration, Father's Day Giveaway (Pastoral Emphasis from 6/21)

Happy Father's Day! If earthly fathers, with their sinful nature, delights to do right for their children, it makes sense that the righteous, Heavenly Father will much more reward His children spiritually. I praise God for being our Heavenly Father who has given us the good gifts of His Son and His Spirit. His Son provides access to a relationship with the Father and His Spirit indwells within us and seals us for the day of redemption.

We had an awesome VBS last week. The theme for the week that really stuck with me is "God is unforgettable". God has done so much for us that we should never forget His goodness towards us.

Men: The deadline to pay your $150 toward the upcoming Men's Retreat on August 13th to 15th is Sunday, June 28th. The table is still open at the Welcome Center for you to pay your money up until this date.

Mt. Zion will partner with "With Love from Jesus" Ministries in Raleigh for outreach on Saturday, June 27th from 9:00am to 12:30pm.

The Youth Ministry Car Wash is on Saturday, June 27th from 8:00am to 1:00pm. The Men's Ministry will be providing a hot dog and drink to everyone making a monetary donation at the car wash!

Reminder: All teens going on the youth trip to Washington, DC on July 31st will need to pay your deposit by next Sunday.

The Children Ministry will implement a new registration process (IDENT-A-KID) beginning July 5. This registration process will improve the safety of our children. Letters will be given to parents explaining the new registration procedures beginning today. Since this is a new process, we appreciate your cooperation and patience.

I got a lot of great nominations for the Father's Day Giveway. It was a great testament to the great fathers we have at Mt. Zion. It was truly a moving experience to hear what families had to say about the fathers in their lives and how appreciative the fathers were to receive the study resources. I wish I had more to give away.
