Bereavement, School Staff Appreciation, Church Family Meeting (Pastoral Emphasis for 10/22)

Please be in prayer for my wife, Anita. Her father passed on Friday night. The funeral service is Saturday in Louisiana. Your prayers for the family and our travel will be appreciated. 

 

Sis. Karen Gray is collecting gently-used sneakers for the American Cancer Society's “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer” until November. Sis. Karen thanks everyone for their donations, but some people have donated boots and Crocs. She doesn't need those; she is asking for sneakers...sneaks, kicks, kicks on fleek, footwear, Js, chucks, tennis shoes!

 

The Missions: Triangle Conference is almost here. Due to my father-in-law's funeral, I won't be at the conference in- person but it will be worth attending to strategize about fulfilling the Great Commission in Wake County and beyond! The conference is free with lunch being provided. You can register at missionstriangle.org. 

 

 Mt. Zion is partnering with Trinity Park Church to show our school staff some appreciation on 11/4 at 10 am. Working in a school system is trying work that takes dedication, love, and commitment. It's often a thankless job. We are inviting Wake and Durham County Public School staff to our seminar to demonstrate that we care about the people who are tirelessly educating our children. The two-hour seminar will address depression, anxiety, self-care, and work-home life balance. There will be gift baskets and gift card giveaways. Each participant will leave with a handy keychain of key points from the seminar. Registration required. 

 

Our last Church Family Meeting for the year is scheduled for next Sunday but we may push it out a week since I and other elders will not be availble. I'll let everyone know what we decide about rescheduling the meeting. But all members are asked to attend.
