Children's Day, Congrats to HS Grads, VBS Outreach (Pastoral Emphasis for 6/11)

Today was our Annual Children's Day service and our children did an AWESOME job presiding, praying, and singing.  Lydia Sallis was our speaker and delivered a wonderful message entitled "Are You A Disciple?" coming from Luke 6:12-16.



We recognized our two High School graduates, Ebony White and Delante Robinson, both graduating from Cary High!

We also acknowledged a couple of college graduates, Brittany Jones earning a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences in Studio Art from UNC at Wilmington, and Tikayla Downing earning a  Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor of Arts in African Studies UNC at Charlotte. Also Dorian Davis earned his second Master's degree from Indiana University.

Registration has started for our VBS that's scheduled from June 21 – June 25, beginning at 6:00pm. On Saturday, 6/24, we'll be doing community outreach. The time will be 1 to 3 pm. Mt Zion will visit nursing homes assigned to each zone. We are asking our members sign up for VBS outreach day. And guests are welcome to join us. The nursing homes are asking for donations and a list of the items are located at the Welcome Center and VBS registration table. Items should be placed in the baskets near the Welcome Center.

Next Sunday, my family and I will be leaving for our family vacation. We'll miss you all. We solicit your prayers for a safe trip. But you'll continue in the book of Mark, Following the Servant-King.

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 ...
