Homegoing Celebration for Joseph Farrow, Happy Father's Day, VBS (Pastoral Emphasis for 6/19)

Our dear brother, Joseph Farrow, went home to be with the Lord last week. His Homegoing Celebration will be tomorrow, June 20th at 1 pm. The viewing will be at 12:00 pm. I want to encourage everyone who is available to come out and support the family. Please keep the family in your prayers. 

Several church members are experiencing bereavements in their families so please pray for them.
  • Deacon Phil Blango's uncle recently passed following an illness. 
  • Sis. Mersedes Griffin's granddaughter lost her husband last week after a brief illness. He was only 37.
  • Bro. Mike Jerkins' mother passed last night.

Praise God for these young people who came forward last Sunday after the Youth Service.
  • Charlize Harris, age 14 - Trusted Christ & a candidate for baptism 
  • Exavier Martin, age 7 - Trusted Christ & candidate for baptism

Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers. 


Mt. Zion is blessed to have so many men who are great fathers! 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 yet, 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 ("Father"). And even if you've messed up as a father, 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. 



VBS is this week
  • Wednesday through Friday: there will be food from 5:30 to 6:30pm with our sessions starting at 6:30pm. 
  • Saturday: Session at 9am; community service from 10am to 12pm; and cookout from 4pm to 7pm. 
  • Sunday: Worship Service (with the sermon based on VBS) and there will be Food Trucks after service for lunch and fellowship. 
  • Today is the last day to register. If you're planning to attend please register so we can finalize the head count numbers for food and classes. The high schoolers (rising 9th-12th) graders will be serving this year or can participate in a mixed generation class.
