We Are Back to Worship in the Sanctuary |
Plan to join us this Sunday, October 4th for our Communion services at 8:30am and 10:00 am in the Sanctuary.
We encourage you to invite your family and friends, and while wearing your mask, join your brothers and sisters in Christ for a responsible social distance worship experience!
We will have communion on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of the month at our in person services. Zion also remains available to provide “touchless” communion to you at your home. Simply request a kit through the church office or click here to sign up for an @Home Communion Kit.
Although we look forward to having you join us in the Sanctuary, if you are unable to join us in person, we encourage you to join the FaceBook Live streaming of the services held at 8:30AM & 10 AM. Our weekly Zion Buzz newsletter will have a copy of the service bulletin with the words to the liturgy, scriptures, songs and prayers so that you can join us in lifting your hearts and voices in worship.
We are continuing to take reservations (RSVP) for the time being so that we can ensure the health and safety of all who are attending. Let us know you're coming by registering yourself and your family. Please note, that an RSVP is required by all people including children.

Please remember to pray for…
-
Prayers for Donna Heinecke and family as her loving mother, Martha Danke, went home to be her Lord and Savior. We thank God for His grace by answering Mom’s prayer to go peacefully in her sleep. We celebrate with Martha as we know she has made Victory in Jesus and is with her loving Heavenly Father.
-
Continue to keep Nikki McGannon, niece of Sharon Beaudoin, in your prayers for discernment and peace, as she is having to make some very important health decisions.
- Zion ECEC Student, Jade, has begun treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Prayers for the Lord to surround this family with love and comfort. May God use Zion to bring HOPE to this family. And lastly we pray for God to provide wisdom to the doctors that He will perfectly place in little Jade’s healing journey.
-
Continued prayers for a complete healing of Zion School Parent, Melissa Ferguson. God is without a doubt healing Melissa and she is grateful for all the prayers. Keep those prayers coming!
-
Thank God for His help to reduce pain for Calvin Jin, friend of Glenda Flora, as he begins chemo. And for continued prayers for the wisdom of doctors and the faith and love of his family.
- Infection rates to slow and cease; that those who have been infected will heal quickly; that healthcare staff and first responders will be sustained as they carry this very heavy burden; that our churches, schools and preschools would be sustained and reliant on our loving God and His guidance; for courage and peace for our pastors, lay leaders, church and school administrators, faculties, and all church and school workers who are making difficult decisions, creating innovative solutions for continuing to reach people for the sake of the Gospel; for our federal, state and local leaders to seek God's will as they make important decisions and take actions against this disease; for God to bring many, many people to faith through this situation, and that His Church would be more effective than ever in sharing the Gospel with the lost and loving our neighbors.
- First Responders - For protection, provision and encouragement for our first responders who serve our communities faithfully and sacrificially, facing risks every day on our behalf in order to preserve the peace, our lives and property.

Zion is Offering Communion @ Home Kits |
|
Have You Missed Communion? |
Zion Elders want to extend the opportunity to share in Holy Communion during social distancing.
We are hoping to do all we can by offering this resource for those that are unable to make it to church or just not ready to return to the church for physical worship and communion. We want you to remain safe and secure in every decision you make.
In doing so, we would like to offer you with the opportunity for a home delivery kit of the Communion Elements, followed up by a call from a Zion Elder who will administer communion with you over the phone.
|
|
Once you're request form has been submitted you will receive a confirmation email from Google Forms. Zion will then contact you to set up a time to drive over and deliver the kit to your home.

All Are Welcome! Share with your Family & Friends |

Looking For Gently Used Trikes or Little Tykes Coupe
Praise God, our PreK class is full!
So having 12 children does pose a problem since we only have 9 Little Tykes cars and 9 tricycles. Practicing social distancing, requires each child to have their own. Until we receive more, the cars will be moved back to the Bike Yard to ensure no child is left out. If you or anyone you know has a Little Tykes Coupe or a gently used tricycle they are no longer using and wish to donate to us, please let me know! I am even willing to pick them up.
