PASTOR ZAC'S SABBATICAL STARTING JUNE 9, 2024
Let’s keep PZ in our prayers as he begins his two-month sabbatical on June 9th. This will be a time of special renewal that will bring personal nourishment, family refreshment and focus, and a clearer understanding of God’s calling on his life. (Along with a little baseball and hiking on the Katy Trail!)
While Pastor Zac is away, please reach out to Pastor Jordan with any pastoral needs.

OKAY, NOT THE REAL PASTOR ZAC...
This is a reminder that scammers love sending out emails bearing Pastor Zac's name and asking for a reply or help. They will create crafty email addresses like "seniorpastorzac@gmail" or "pastorzac221@gmail" or something similar. Now they are sending direct texts from different phone numbers as well. These scammers are trying to solicit a reply email or text from you (to send you more fraudulent emails) or, even worse, solicit money or security information from you. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY to these emails or texts.
If PZ needs your help, HE WILL CALL YOU ON THE PHONE. If in doubt as to the authenticity of the email, remember PZ's email address is pastorzac@atoneluth.org. Anything different is a scammer.
