Local Families displaced by fire:
On Monday, February 24th, a fire in Glen Rock displaced 2 families. The Grim family consists of a mother and daughter (middle school aged). The LeFevre/Bonitz family consists of 2 adults and 3 children (elementary and middle school aged).
In an effort to help, Zion is collecting monetary donations and gift cards for the two families until the end of March, 2020.
Checks should be made out to Zion Lutheran Church and specifically marked in the memo line for the family you would like the donation to go to. If you would like to support both families with your donation, mark the memo line of your check and the envelope stating both family names.
At the end of March, all donations will then be forwarded to the families from “the People of Zion”.
If you have household items you would like to donate to either family, please fill out the form on sign-up table in the Upstairs Fellowship Area and return the completed form to Brenda Davis.
If you have questions, please contact Brenda Davis at 717-793-7236 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Opportunity to help local community member:
As some of you know, Lee Cook suddenly needed a life-saving emergency surgery to repair a blood clot severely affecting his digestive tract. Without the surgery he would not have made it. He has had multiple surgeries already and may also need additional surgeries before he is on a road to recovery. The recovery process will be a long road and medical bills are rising fast.
Lee is self-employed and will not be able to work for a while. In addition, he helps support his two kids. Lee is a devoted and loving dad, brother, son, nephew and friend. He has always been there for others whenever someone needed help. As a Volunteer Fire Fighter and Lieutenant with the Glen Rock Fire Department, he has put his life on the line to save others for over 25 years and has earned the distinction of Life Member. Lee is also a Trustee and the Treasurer of the local relief association. He is a familiar face to many of the area youth, thanks to his involvement in fire prevention at area schools.
Please consider donating to help with on-going medical and living expenses. He needs our help and will not ask for it himself.
Donations for Lee can be made through Zion. Make your checks out to Zion Lutheran Church and mark the memo line and your envelope “Lee Cook”.
Donations will be collected until the end of March, 2020, and then forwarded to Lee from “the People of Zion”.
