Bereavement, Happy Father's Day, VBS (Pastoral Emphasis for 6/16)

Bereavement: Sis. Eva Utley went home to be with the Lord on Thursday morning. She was 92. The homegoing service will be on Wednesday at noon with the viewing at 11am.

Happy Father's Day!!

I know that Father's Day can be tough for many. Some of you have lost your father so I pray that God would comfort you. Some of you may not have had a good relationship with your father or none at all.

At the Men's Conference, Pastor Chris Furr made two insightful statements: "Children are always looking for their father's approval" and "A father's approval is like immunization for our children against Satan's attacks".

God has designed a father to have a huge influence on the lives of their children. I'm thankful that even when an earthly father fails in this regard, we have God's approval through Jesus Christ. I'm also thankful that we have MANY great fathers at Mt. Zion that are striving to raise their children in the admonition of the Lord!


All families are invited to join us for our annual Vacation Bible School, "POWER UP! RAISE YOUR GAME", starting on Wednesday through Friday. On Saturday, we're having a picnic at Pullen Park from 12 - 2:00 pm. On Sunday, we'll have a Family Sunday School at 9 am.

Even though we don't have a formal dress code at church, I think we have an unspoken one. Our guest may perceive a dress code based on what they see on the stage from leadership. So in order to remove any barriers that might prevent some from visiting us or feeling comfortable in our service, the leadership will dress a little more casual. We will try this out until the end of the year and then evaluate. So don't be surprised when you see me not wearing a tie! I shared the following email that we got via our website to show that we are spreading the Gospel worldwide. To God be the glory! Greetings Mt. Zion Church Family...Today is July 27, 2009 and I would like to share the blessing that I have received from your church. I was talking to my very dear sister, soror, friend Sis Brandi Hancock and she and I were having a heart to heart. I told her that I was
