What's with all this "connection" language?
Great news! If you get your hands on a copy of the Deerfield Beach Magazine for this month and flip to the back cover, you'll see an advertisement for Zion's ministries using the graphic here. This is a wonderful opportunity for visibility and we are grateful to Point Publishing for offering it.

The language of connection has been slowly and deliberately making its way into our culture here at Zion, because it aptly describes what we have been doing in mission and ministry.

Not only are we uniquely positioned (both physically and figuratively) in the community, with a long history in Deerfield Beach, we experience the most gratifying success in ministry when we identify a need within the community and work together to meet it. By connecting with God, each other, and the community, our potential reach with the Gospel becomes more and more expansive.

Our most recent programs described below, the Tech FUNdamentals Classes and upcoming monthly Grief Group, are two examples of recognizing needs, establishing connections, and bringing the community together. Not only is it our hope that you attend, but that you also share these opportunities with your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers.

From Grief to Wholeness: Monthly Grief Group
Grief – the emotions we experience when we have a loss. We can grieve the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, dreams that never will materialize, loss of health, loss of job, loss of income, loss of hope. 

Come join us on the journey as we face loss, hold on to what is good, heal from the rest, and come into the present as a more whole person. The group will meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month, beginning March 11th, from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m. using a hybrid gathering approach (in person or on Zoom). To gather on Zoom:

Confirmation Interest Meeting: This Sunday
If you are a family with a student in Grades 7 and 8 (or older) who is looking to grow deeper in faith...or an adult who hasn't dusted off their copy of Luther's Small Catechism since your own Confirmation...join us for a conversation about this year's Confirmation cohort. We will be meeting after worship on Sunday, March 7th in Katie Luther Chapel to discuss the program basics and find the best ways to gather as a group for study. We will also have pizza! (That's reason enough to show up, right?)
