Tech Classes continue tomorrow, September 2nd at 3:00 p.m. with Tips & Tricks for the iPad. Even if you don't (yet) have a tablet, this orientation will help all smartphone and tablet users.

Our sponsor for the entire series of technology classes is Medicare Dave and the Senior Healthcare Team, based right here in Deerfield Beach. We are grateful for their sponsorship and want to spread the word about the good work they do. Visit www.MedicareDave.com for more information.

Beginning on September 8th/9th, Pastor Potter will lead an 8-week Bible study using Dr. Matthew Skinner's book "Acts: Catching Up with the Spirit."

Matt Skinner's book can be purchased from all major booksellers. The Zoom login information and schedule of readings can be found here. Please plan to bring your Bible (print or digital) to the Bible study.

Our monthly grief group is an important opportunity for mutual support that meets from 5:15 to 6:30 p.m. on the 2nd Thursday of the month.

Pastor David Potter facilitates the group in a hybrid format; you are welcome to join in-person or via Zoom.

In addition to inviting your friends, family, and work colleagues, we need our Zion & Evergreen families to serve at the Information Table/Tent, the Refreshment Tables, and in the Parking Lots (give directions and be vigilant). If you are interested in serving, please speak with Cantor Kurt Schmidt or Gail Schmidt.

Let's gather for worship on this celebratory day, as we give thanks for all the good work that God continues to do through us here at Zion. During our worship service, we will be completing individual spiritual gift inventories, and we encourage as many people to attend as possible. (The documents will be available for online viewers to print and complete very soon.)

As Paul reminds us, the Body of Christ is made up of different kinds of gifts. As we move forward in ministry together, it is important to identify the kinds of gifts present in the people of our congregation and community. You may be surprised at how God can use your gifts and talents in ways you couldn't even imagine!

And, for those who may be wondering, we are awaiting word on how best to offer help to the people of Louisiana who have been affected by Hurricane Ida. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

As we remember those in Haiti, Louisiana, Afghanistan, and in all places of storms (both literal and figurative), we offer our prayers:
