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.

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.

Responding to the Flooding, Christmas in July Food Drive, New Sermon Series (Pastoral Emphasis for 7/13)

Responding to the Flooding All of us are painfully aware of the devastating flooding that struck our nation recently. As of Friday evening, the confirmed death toll in Texas has risen to 129, with at least 150 individuals still missing across the state. Our hearts are heavy, and we grieve for the lives lost and the families enduring unimaginable pain. One of the first things people tend to do is look for someone to blame. Was it the fault of the warning system not being early enough? Was it the fault of the government (state and federal)? Was it the fault of God? If God is so good, why do we suffer with natural disasters like flooding that takes the lives of seemingly innocent people like young children? The reality is that the fault lies with us. Humanity decided to rebel against the Creator God, thereby, ushering in sin and the fall from God's perfect creation. Natural disasters happen because we live in a fallen world ravaged by sin. Natural disasters like these floods are trag...
