ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: Honoring Data’s Dad, who lived to be 93 years old. We reflected on what our legacy as Dad’s can be. The 4 Ps:

– Pursuing Dads: we pursue our children’s hearts. Like Jesus pursued us in our sin, we have an example of the lengths God the Father went to pursue us.
– Present Dads: We are present emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically. We connect with our kids.
– Providing Dads: We provide space for our kids to be known and loved; we also provide financially.
– Protecting Dads: We protect our kids from the lies of this world as we point them to Jesus, we also protect them from unsafe people.

May we endeavor to prioritize our children and families as Data’s Dad did – retiring from his sales position to be spend more time with his kids!
