Zion has a brand-new website.  Just as before, you can reach it at ZIONGLENROCK.ORG.  We hope you’ll visit and use the website to access bulletins, view recorded worship services, and much more.  Please free to share the link with friends, neighbors and others who might benefit from learning about our church, our activities, and our missions. If you have something to contribute or have questions, please reach out to Zion’s Contact Person, Brenda Davis.  Brenda is working with us at Hoffman Web Solutions to make this website a viable and productive tool for all to use. Thanks for allowing us to design and manage Zion’s web presence –  Pam & Jeff Hoffman.

Shhh...don’t tell the kids, but it’s time to gather back to school supplies for the upcoming school year. We are still waiting for a list and deadline from Southern Community Services, but school supplies are being stocked at local stores now. Please place your donations on the stage in the social hall.

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 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Contribution counting volunteers are going to be helping Brenda on Thursdays, twice a month, to record and deposit contributions. If you would like to help with counting, please contact Brenda in the office at 717-235-3276.

Recently, Zion’s email list, typically used to send out announcements and weekly bulletins, was used to send out prayer requests. A discussion with leadership at Zion and Pastor Doug led to this suggestion. If you are not currently receiving the weekly bulletin emails and you would like to be added to the email list, contact Brenda in the office at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 717-235-3276. Additionally, if you do not use email but would like to be notified when prayer requests are sent out, contact the office. We want to lift in prayer our friends, neighbors, and family whenever there is a need, not just Sunday mornings. If you feel this is a ministry opportunity you would like to help with, let Brenda know.

The limited edition prints of the Glen Rock Carolers singing in front of Zion are now on sale. Prints may be purchased immediately after worship in the social hall.

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 July will benefit the Arthur Hufnagel Public Library.

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.
