 PRAYER QUILT

In the hallway leading from the church to the fellowship hall, please take a moment to stop by the PrayerQuilt hanging on the west wall.  The Prayer Quilt is for our Church as we pray to find a new minister.  Please tie a knot and pray for God's intervention and discernment for our Call Committee & Church Council.  This quilt was made by Karen Gilbreath & given to us as we pray for a new minister.  The number of knots tied, reflects your prayers for Zion.

Thanks to Linda Blackwell for writing the Thrivent grant and a huge thank you to those of you who have contributed! 

8/27/2025 – 6-7 p.m. Student & Parent Confirmation Orientation meeting followed by acolyte training for 7th graders.

 It’s a new year of confirmation and a significant step in our youth’s faith journey.  The goal is to help 7th and 8th graders grow spiritually as well as connect them with our church family. 

Students & parents, please plan to attend.  We will discuss the confirmation year ahead of us and distribute the confirmation schedule and information.  7th & 8th grade youth and parents or guardians will meet in the fellowship hall from 6 to 7 pm. For the 8th grade families, we will look at the year ahead as these youth prepare for their confirmation in the spring. For the 7th grade families, we will discuss confirmation requirements and align on a week to attend camp together during the summer of 2026.    

 Confirmation classes will begin on Wednesday, September 3rd, 6 to 7 PM.
