Hello Zion Family & Friends
With special thanks to our Government & Local leaders, we are planning to reopen our church doors. We will be holding  two services on Sunday, June 14 at 8:30am and 10:00am.

We are streaming both 8:30 & 10am worship services on Facebook live.

Sunday at 8:30 am & 10:00 am
Please remember to pray for…
  • Neola Merriam, who is having surgery on June 18 to remove facial skin cancer. Please pray for the surgeon to remove all the cancer, a successful surgery, and for a full and quick recovery.
  • Jose Luis Salazar Milla, nephew of Ernilda Milla, is a farmer in Peru. In March he lost all his harvest due to the wholesale market closures from COVID-19. Prayers for more opportunity to sell his crops and for the bank to stop increasing interest on his loan payments for the months of April and May. 
  • Zion School Parent, Melissa Ferguson, who is currently undergoing small and large chemo treatments for cancer. She has an update to share - PRAISE REPORT that her tumor has shrunk from 5.3 to 2.2. Now let us pray for God’s continued miracle of healing for the tumor to continue to shrink and that she will be fully healed! She has been completed 3 months of chemotherapy and will do another 3 months coming up. Lastly, she asks that we pray for the mass to dry up at the root and be in remission and healed. May all people know that God is a Healer! This is Melissa's Victory Verse: Jeremiah 29:11
  • Nikki, Sharon Beaudoin's niece, is still doing cancer treatment and will have a new MRI on the brain at the end of May. Please continue to keep her in your prayers for healing and comfort.
  • Continued prayers for Jackie Salonisen, who is now home with hospice care. May God who understands each and every need, who listens to every prayer, bless and keep Jackie and her family in His tender loving care.
  • 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.
  • 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 / 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.
  • Don Robinson, Lisa Kott’s Father, for continued healing and comfort from a second stroke. And also for Lisa’s mother for encouragement and comfort as these times are difficult for her to be away from her life mate.
  • Jane Muccillo, who suffered a stroke back in December. Please keep her in your prayers for a full recovery.

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.

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ -

This week a formal "Letter of Interest" was sent to each of the three Pastoral candidates we are considering for the Call here at Zion. The letters will be followed by a personal phone call next week with that hope that each candidate has received the letter and has had some time to consider and pray about the opportunity. If they are open to discussing the Call further, we will begin a series of phone interviews so that we can begin to develop a clearer picture of how they would fit into the broader Zion community and support our various ministries. It is my hope that those begin ASAP.

Each of the three candidates would bring a unique set of skills and talents here to our congregation. While they are each different, we firmly believe that any one of them would serve us well as "Pastor Next". As we move forward in faith, please continue to keep Zion, the Call Committee and our candidates in your prayers.

Humbly on behalf of each member of the Call Committee -
Eron Jacobson

Zion ECEC Summer Program
July 1, 2020 – August 7, 2020

We are excited about our summer together. At this point, we are allowed to provide care for parents who work in an essential workplace. It is our hope that the state will allow us to accept other students in July as various sectors of business reopen. Therefore we are taking registration for summer. We will keep you posted. There is no registration fee for the summer program, however, the new tuition rates will be in effect as of July 1, 2020.

 It is Zion’s goal to honor God in the way that we value the physical health and well-being of our students, families, staff and community. We have to implement health and safety protocols based on State of California Governor’s order, licensing requirements, public health and CDC guidelines during the pandemic. We now have new safety protocols in place, and these will be in effect until licensing and the state says otherwise. Once you notify us of your intent to attend our summer program, you will be sent the protocols.

Important notes:
Hours of operations: 7:00 am to 5:30 pm - A late charge will be incurred if a student is not picked up by 5:30 pm. (The change in our program hours is necessary for us to properly clean, sanitize and disinfect our facility daily)

If you intend to attend our Summer Program July 1, 2020 – please  email Mrs. Knapp  or call 714-535-1172 ext. 300 by Friday, June 19, 2020. We need to know how many will be attending as our ratio of teacher per student has been reduced to 1:10 and we need to make sure we have adequate staffing.
