NEW TO ZION - NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

We are using a new platform called “Gloo” to communicate to our congregation when events are happening within the church, notification of weather cancellations, reminders to those who are greeting, reading, or acolyting on various Sundays.  For those who have shared their cell phone number with the church, please make sure to add the following number in your contact information 1-833-587-5062 and reference it as “Zion Lutheran Church” This will help you identify the number.  We will continue to utilize Facebook, but hope this will give you additional ways to be notified.  If your cell phone has changed or you want to share your number (landlines do not work), please let Michele Kolm know.
