Caroling to our VIP/Shut-ins...
We will be leaving Zion’s parking lot promptly at 12:30pm on December 13th. There will not be a lunch stop on our itinerary this year, so please plan accordingly. Carol sheets will be available. Remember, a perfect singing voice is NOT a requirement! The day is for bringing a little Christmas Joy to our VIPs. We’d love to have you join us.  Want to know more?

The Christian Education Committee will, once again, be collecting Gifts of Warmth (hats, scarves, mittens, etc.) to adorn our Christmas Tree which will be located in the Upstairs Fellowship Hall from December 1st through December 29th. All donations for children, teens, women, and men are greatly appreciated. There is a special need for hats, scarves, gloves and socks for men, particularly large sizes. Get all the details...
