Update on sorting of old paperwork stored in the attic: A small group of people have been sorting through decades worth of saved paperwork that was being stored in the attic. The initial sorting phase is complete. The next step is to read through the old bulletins, newsletters, minutes, and other paperwork to see if there is historic information worth noting to maintain the extraordinary history of Zion Dr. Charles Glatfelter initiated for us. If you are willing to take some of the paperwork home with you to read and note where historical information is contained, and then return the paperwork to Zion, please contact Brenda Davis or Jeff and Pam Hoffman. This will be an ongoing process throughout the winter months.
WE GIVE THANKS— As we enter the season of fall, seeing crops being harvested, walking through a farmer’s market, seeing roadside stands still selling local produce, it’s hard to imagine there are people around the world going hungry. We are truly blessed! Christian Education has accepted the challenge of the ELCA World Hunger Global Farm Challenge. Our goal is to collect $325.00 to support a vegetable garden, farmers field school, and buy a goat. Of course we would be grateful for any donation. Please join us in making a difference in people’s lives around the world. Your donation, cash or check (made out to Zion Lutheran) should be placed in the envelope provided, along with your name and/or envelope number, the animal/animals you are purchasing, so that your contribution statement reflects your donation.
Wreaths Across America dates: Saturday, 12/13 will be the ceremony and laying of wreaths. The program will begin at 11am at the Glen Rock EMS building, located at 59 Water St, Glen Rock, PA. The removal of wreaths will be Saturday, 1/17/26. We will meet first at the Glen Rock American Legion Post. If you have any questions, please contact Sharon Krout at 717-683-3975.
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 November will benefit Wreaths Across America. The Auxiliary for the Austin L. Grove American Legion organizes the laying of wreaths on veterans’ graves in Glen Rock annually during the month 16 of December, in partnership with Wreaths Across America. Over 525 veterans’ graves are included in this effort locally.
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
