⭐ TOP TIER TUESDAY ⭐
🙌 Our volunteers are top tier! 🙌
Today we want to celebrate someone who's been on our hearts a lot lately.
We are missing Alvin Macklin. ❤
Many of you know that he's on a healing journey right now, which means we don't get to see him nearly as much as we'd like,
and things just aren't quite the same without him.
You might have seen him showing up and filling Easter bags for our children.
You might know him as the person who leads our prison ministry: visiting, praying with, and advocating for people who are incarcerated, while helping prepare them for healing and for a healthy and productive re-entry into their communities.
Or maybe you know his smile.
If you've been with us on a Men's Sunday, you've seen it.
Al is one of our greeters, and you really can't make it into the sanctuary without passing him first. We are not exaggerating when we say that smile of his can make you feel welcome before he even says a word.
So today, we're asking our Zion family to join us in praying for this greatly-loved man.
Pray for his strength.
Pray for his healing.
Pray for his peace.
Pray for his wife Belinda, and for their loving family.
And pray that we'll be able to see that smile of his at our door sooner rather than later. 🙏
Elder Al, we love you, we're thinking about you, and we are believing God with you.
We miss you more than you know,
and we're honored to serve alongside you. 💛
