Lend a Helping Hand
Jesus Statue Giving Appeal 2020

This statue of Jesus has graced Zion's Memorial Garden for over 30 years. Recently, the Memorial Garden Committee determined that the statue's interior was made of wood (not intended for outdoor display) and had succumbed to the elements. It has been removed and will be reduced to ashes and interred in a vacant niche in the garden.

Our intent is to purchase a new fiberglass Jesus statue to watch over Zion's Memorial Garden. The statue will be custom crafted by Demetz Art Studio in Milan, Italy.

The cost for the statue, freight and delivery, and installation is $4,000. On behalf of the Memorial Garden Committee, $2,000 has already been contributed toward the total.

For the remainder of 2020, the Memorial Garden Committee is inviting
you to "lend a helping hand" toward the purchase of a new Jesus statue.
You may give your contribution (minimum $50) to the glory of God, or specifically in honor or in memory of a loved one. All contributions at or above $50 will be included on a plaque of gratitude.

If you would like to contribute to this giving appeal, you may download and complete this form and mail it and your contribution to the church. Or, you may e-mail your designation to Cantor Kurt Schmidt and make your contribution online by clicking here.
This weekend's fresh altar flowers are given in loving memory of Eric Cox and Barry Cox by Susanne Cox Remington.

Don't "Leaf" It Empty!

As Pastor Potter shared in this weekend's special e-news, it’s important to shift our focus from what we don’t have and what we can’t do, to what we do have and what we can do and to give thanks!

We are asking you to share who and what you're thankful for this year. Come to worship and fill out your own leaf, or complete the form here and we will fill one out for you. Let's fill the tree with our thankfulness and gratitude.

In response to God's blessings, don't forget to call or text someone who may feel alone, send a note of encouragement, do a random act of kindness, or a give a contribution to honor someone and further the ministry of Zion. (To contribute online, click here, and designate the "Give Thanks" fund from the list.)

We thank God for you and the difference you make in the world!
In Case You Missed It
