Now Sharing Our Daily Bread: The Christian Education Committee invites you to pick up a copy of the current devotional booklet from the Our Daily Bread Ministry.  You can find it at the table at the rear of the Fellowship Hall.  It will offer you 90 days of unique devotions, and a new version will be available each 90 days thereafter.  The CE Committee would love to hear your feedback on these devotionals.  Please reach out to Pam or Jeff Hoffman, Jen Webb, or Kelley Fisher with questions and comments.

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 May will benefit The Well. The Well continues to be a safe sanctuary place where the kids of Glen Rock can come to participate in activities, receive wholesome snacks, and just “hang out”. The Well also helps provide meals and food boxes to local residents. The Well is located at 32 Water St., Glen Rock. In addition to collecting monetary donations, feel free to bring in non-perishable food items, which will also be given to The Well.

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.
