Bereavement, Wednesday Family Worship, Happy Father's Day (Pastoral Emphasis for 6/15)

Bereavement: I wanted to inform everyone that one of our members, Sis. Cheryl King has passed away after a long battle with cancer.  She was the cousin of Deacon Warmack.  Please pray for the family that they find comfort in the fact that Sis. King is no longer suffering and has entered eternal joy with her Savior.

Thanks to all who participated in VBS and to all the teachers and organizers. We had a great VBS this year.

Join us on this Wednesday at 6pm for Wednesday Family Worship. We'll have dinner, praise & worship, and studying of the Bible as an entire church body. We'll end promptly at 8:00 pm.  So feel free to invite family members, friends, neighbors, classmates, and co-workers to join us.

As a church on mission, we have a team going on a mission trip to Ecuador in July. You might not be able to go but you can still support.  A Fish Fry Fundraiser will be held Friday, June 20th starting at 12:00 Noon until 7:00 PM at our 8500 Chapel Hill Road location.  This is to help raise funds and support for Sis. Decora Martin.

I'm sad to announce that today is the last "official" Sunday for Deacon Tony & Deaconess LaDonna Bethea. We thank them for their years of service to God and this church.  Though we hate to see them leave we will remain family and pray that God will continue to direct their steps.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads.  Like Mother's Day, Father's Day can be tough for many. Whether your father is no longer living, you didn't know your father, your father was not much of a father, or even if you desire to be a father and it has not happened it, I want to encourage you that God has revealed Himself as Father and through faith in Jesus, we have received the spirit of adoption and can call God, Abba.  And even if you've messed up as a dad, remember that you don't have to be perfect because Jesus was perfect for you.  Keep your eyes on Jesus and He'll sanctify you to become a better father.

Minnesota School Shooting, Music Ministry Recruitment, Ark Encounter Trip (Pastoral Emphasis for 8/31)

Minnesota School Shooting Our hearts are heavy over the tragic school and church shooting in Minneapolis at Annunciation Catholic School, where two children lost their lives and many others—some as young as six—are recovering from serious injuries. Sadly, we couldn't get through a full week of traditional school before something like this happens. In this time of profound sorrow, let us hold close in prayer the grieving parents, families, and the entire Annunciation community. Though we cannot fully comprehend their pain, we can stand alongside them in faith, offering compassion, and intercession. May God bring comfort to those who mourn, healing to the wounded, and peace to a terrified community.  Of course, a mass shooting always brings up the issue for stricter gun laws. I agree we do need good legislation and sensible gun laws because it is the government's responsibility to protect its citizens. Ultimately, that will not solve our problem. For a country that has been ...
