Carmel Family- 

Last Sunday we celebrated Father’s Day, a day that stirs up many emotions from gratitude to longing, from joy to grief. In 2021, we shared the story of Carmel member Brad Austin whose life was greatly impacted by how Jesus transformed his dad's life when Brad was a teenager. His story of God’s faithfulness and equipping was so encouraging, we thought we would share it again! Read Brad's full story here.

As we recall how our earthly fathers have shaped our lives, let's be intentional to encourage the men in our lives as they seek to follow Jesus, bless others AND praise our Heavenly Father for how He graciously loves and provides for us in His most perfect way.
The Carmel Team

PS -
In July, we’ll be preparing treat bags for 85 teachers at our partner school, Merry Oaks Elementary. Find our Amazon list here to donate items! Just buy an item + select "Dawn Morton Matthews, NC" to send directly to Carmel. We also need 85 $10 Target gift cards that can be placed in the offering boxes in the Gathering Space. Let’s show these teachers they are valued and appreciated!
Praise & Prayer
Pray for VBS kids and leaders as Vacation Bible School kicked off this morning! 600+ Carmel Preschoolers and CarmelKidz from ages 3 through 3rd grade are part of VBS through Friday! Pray that they would have powerful encounters with Jesus the next few days.
