LOOSE CHANGE OFFERING, APR 2023
Please add your Loose Change offering to the plate in the back of the sanctuary throughout the month.  At the end of the month, the APR 2023 Loose Change Offering will go to Donate Life America in observance of Organ Donation Month.

FRIENDS & FAMILY DIRECTORY
Our Friends & Family Directory is now available.  Please notify the office of any changes to your current listing; and if you are not listed currently but wish to be, please provide the office with names, mailing address, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and birthdate (optional) for each member of your household so that we can make those changes the next time the directory is updated.

 HEALING SHAWLS FROM COMPASSION & CARE TEAM
Glen Rock resident, Lucy Cadwallader, contacted Zion with the following request.   For the past 6 years, a free program with 16 volunteers called Compassion & Care Team within the York County Coroner's Office has reached out to families who have lost loved ones. They provide comforting letters, grief support, support group information as needed. Now they wish to offer Healing Shawls to mothers, grandmothers, care givers who have lost a child.  If you have free time to knit/crochet for this worthy cause, please call Lucy (717-873-4971). She will provide the yarn and pattern.  Interested? Please contact Lucy directly.  (This is unrelated to the Prayer Shawl Ministry at Zion.)
