The Bite Eatery is a community marketplace for local happenings, where an unprecedented collection of local chefs host a variety of cuisine choices. Let's all eat exactly what we want and enjoy the amazing atmosphere and fellowship!

Don't make dinner plans and come as you are! We enjoy delicious food and one another's fellowship. We each pay our own way, but everyone is invited to the table — friends, family members, and neighbors!

Opportunities to Serve Joyfully & Give Selflessly

Deerfield Beach Community Cares wants to purchase a van and staff an individual to make daily trips to our newly-assigned Publix to add significantly to our weekly inventory. If you would like to contribute toward the purchase of a reliable van, please click here and select "Nina's Place" as the fund.

Reformation Sunday: The Church is Always Reforming!

Rooted in the past and growing into the future, the church must always be reformed in order to live out the love of Christ in an ever-changing world. We celebrate the good news of God’s grace, that Jesus Christ sets us free every day to do this life-transforming work. Trusting in the freedom given to us in baptism, we pray for the church, that Christians will unite more fully in worship and mission.

Come on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. to add to our music team! Spend a few minutes with our Cantors and learn your part. It really is that easy!

The Rev's Thoughts & Recs

In Sunday's gospel, the Pharisees wanted to trap Jesus into saying the "wrong" thing, so they asked him, "Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” Our Lord's wisdom triumphed as he held a Roman coin and responded, "Give Caesar what's his and give God what's God's.” We can for sure never give God too much glorious praise for all God has done, is doing, and will do for us.

Savor these words from Mercy Me's song, "To Not Worship You" as you give thanks for your Lord and Savior.

Zion is a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community, and extends God's radical welcome to all people, because we're all created in God's image.
