Sharing Christ, Changing Lives! |
|
|
We will continue to worship outside on the lawn in front of the sanctuary in one service at 9:30 AM. Combining some of the traditional liturgy with praise songs and hymns; we encourage you to invite your family and friends, bring your lawn chair (chairs are available) & blankets, and while wearing your mask, join your brothers and sisters in Christ in responsible social distance outside worship!
We will continue to have Communion on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month, but also remain available to provide “touchless” communion to you at your home. Simply request a kit through the church office or click here to sign up for an @Home Communion Kit.
As we are in the heat of summer, please note, that we are adjusting our service time slightly to allow everyone to enjoy this outdoor service. So we will be having a single service at 9:30 AM beginning this Sunday, that has been condensed to approximately 45 minutes to one hour.
Although we encourage you to join us on the lawn, if you are unable to join us in person, we encourage you to join the FaceBook Live streaming of the service at 9:30 AM. Our weekly Zion Buzz newsletter will have a copy of the service bulletin with the words to the liturgy, scriptures, songs and prayers so that you can join us in lifting your hearts and voices in worship.
We are continuing to take reservations (RSVP) for the time being so that we can ensure the health and safety of all who are attending. Let us know you're coming by registering yourself and your family. Please note, that an RSVP is required by all people including children.

Please remember to pray for…
- Mary Koschmeder, cousin of Becki Thompson, has Covid-19 with underlying conditions and is back at the hospital—it isn’t dire now but is serious. Please keep her in your prayers for a complete healing.
- Nikki McGannon, niece of Sharon Beaudoin, had a small set back with complications from her appendix. She will be returning back home to recover. Continue to keep Nikki in prayer for healing & comfort.
-
Zion School Parent, Melissa Ferguson, just had her 12th cycle of chemo. She had a CT scan and is awaiting the updated results and will find out if she needs more treatments or will go into a weekly maintenance treatment that targets the area to keep the cancer away. We are praying that the CT scan shows no more cancer! We keep our HOPE in Christ! This is Melissa's Victory Verse: Jeremiah 29:11
- All our church and school families. We pray for our families whose members are on the front lines working in health care, law enforcement, public service, food industries and services, new media, financial institutions, construction, safety, sanitation and many more. We pray for our families who are worried about finances, and for our families who have health concerns.
- Our Gracious Heavenly Father, We cry out to you for mercy during these difficult days. Please, O God, heal our land, bring peace to our neighborhoods and cities, and tear down the walls of hate and injustice that divide us. Raise up your church to be a life-giving force - ambassadors of reconciliation. Empower us for action that we will do more than talk - for it is time to act. May we model for our world the oneness in Christ, who alone is the hope of the world. Give wisdom to our civil authorities and faith leaders to make decisions and lead in directions that will result in repentance, healing, forgiveness, new directions, and peace. We pray this in the powerful name of the Savior of all, Jesus the Christ. Amen.

Coronavirus - Please be in prayer: for infection rates to slow and cease; that those who have been infected will heal quickly; that healthcare staff and first responders will be sustained as they carry this very heavy burden; that our churches, schools and preschools would be sustained and reliant on our loving God and His guidance; for courage and peace for our pastors, lay leaders, church and school administrators, faculties, and all church and school workers who are making difficult decisions, creating innovative solutions for continuing to reach people for the sake of the Gospel; for our federal, state and local leaders to seek God's will as they make important decisions and take actions against this disease; for God to bring many, many people to faith through this situation, and that His Church would be more effective than ever in sharing the Gospel with the lost and loving our neighbors.

Zion is Offering Communion @ Home Kits |
|
Have You Missed Communion? |
Zion Elders want to extend the opportunity to share in Holy Communion during social distancing.
We are hoping to do all we can by offering this resource for those that are unable to make it to church or just not ready to return to the church for physical worship and communion. We want you to remain safe and secure in every decision you make.
In doing so, we would like to offer you with the opportunity for a home delivery kit of the Communion Elements, followed up by a call from a Zion Elder who will administer communion with you over the phone.
|
|
Once you're request form has been submitted you will receive a confirmation email from Google Forms. Zion will then contact you to set up a time to drive over and deliver the kit to your home.

The Church Office is currently closed to the public, but our dedicated team is still working and available to you.

Thanksgiving and Prayer (Philippians 1:3-11)
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace,[d] both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
