ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Welcome to Zion! We are glad you are here today. After worship, you are invited to a time of fellowship with coffee and snacks in the social hall directly beside the sanctuary.
Communion is offered every Sunday. Wine and apple juice are both available. All are welcome.
If you are new to Zion or have an update to your contact information, please fill out a connection card located on the windowsill near the bulletins.
Today we welcome Rev. Peter Rustico to lead us in worship.
There will be a congregational meeting on Sunday, May 10th immediately after worship. Agenda items include voting on new council members, discussion regarding property related projects including purchasing a new HVAC unit and an exterior painting quote. There will also be a cemetery update on repairs to broken and leaning stones in the cemetery. For more information on any of these items, see a current council member. Zion’s council currently has a few openings.
If any member of the congregation is willing to serve on council, please talk to a current member of the council, including Chad Fisher, Rick Freda, Tom Bailey, Donna Price, Jeff Brown, Pam Hoffman, Jen Webb, and Gail Prego. Elections will take place at our semi-annual congregational meeting on May 10th.
It’s time to update Zion’s Friends and Family Directory and Birthday List. If you and your family would like to be added to the directory or have updates since the last directory was printed, please fill out the insert included in your bulletin. You do not need to be a formal member of Zion to be included in the directory. Please feel free to share this form with anyone who has a connection with Zion and you think may want to be included. Completed forms are due to the office by Sunday, May 3rd . The new directory and birthday list will be made available in May.
The Loose Change offering plate is available every Sunday. At the end of the month, the total collected for that month will be sent to the chosen organization. Our loose change collection for April will benefit Donate Life. Donate Life is a national, nonprofit organization leading efforts to increase the number of donated organs, eyes and tissue available to save and heal lives through transplantation.
Services are recorded and streamed live each week on Zion Lutheran Church’s Facebook page. It is possible during the recording that people attending the service will be filmed. If you have any concerns about being filmed, please contact the office at 717-235-3276.
Announcements for the weekly bulletin are due to the office by early Tuesday morning so bulletin work can be completed by the end of the day on Tuesday. This schedule allows time for the bulletin to be sent to the presiding pastor for the upcoming week and allows the website committee time to post the bulletin on Zion’s website. Announcements can be emailed to Brenda at
