Weekly News from Zion and our Ministries Under the Cross: Evergreen Academy & Nina's Place

Thank You, DFB Community!

Our 3rd Annual DFB Community Fair was an overwhelming success, thanks to the generosity and effort of so many: our Zion and DBCC leadership teams, all volunteers, the Key Club students from local high schools, our sponsors, all participating organizations and healthcare providers, and all who attended. THANK YOU to all who contributed time, talent, and treasure!

The most important metric of success for Saturday is that our neighbors connected with the services and providers that can give them hope. We have already heard from our community partners that these connections were made; for that, we say thanks be to God!

Photo albums have been posted to the Zion Facebook Page & Website. We invite you to visit either and look through the myriad of activities and partners that joined us for the 3rd Annual DFB Community Fair.

Opportunities to "Just Show Up"

Third Tuesday in September

Tuesday, September 19, 2023 at Noon

The Hen & the Hog

3003 N. Federal Highway

Pompano Beach, FL 33064

Don't make lunch 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!

The next series of Tough Conversations begins on September 19th with QPR Training. This sister training to CPR gives anyone the knowledge to question, persuade, and refer someone who is in danger of taking their own life. Dinner is included for those who register (click here to register). We hope that you'll join us for this important evening.

Opportunities to Serve Joyfully & Give Selflessly

This Sunday: Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost

In Sunday's second reading Paul questions why we judge one another, since we all stand before the judgment of God. Yet we do sin against one another, and Jesus’ challenge that we forgive seventy-seven times reveals God’s boundless mercy. When we hear the words of forgiveness in worship and sign ourselves with the cross, we are renewed in baptism to be signs of reconciliation in the world.

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.
