The sign-up calendar and order forms are located in the Gathering Place by the elevator. Contact Carol Wright at 203-213-8233 with questions.
Concerning Our Prayer List: We take the prayer list seriously and appreciate it when you feel comfortable adding a person to it. Please always make sure that it is okay with the person that they are on a public list. We also know that life gets busy and it is hard to remember to take someone off the prayer list when it is appropriate. Or it might make us feel anxious to do so. This prayer list will be restarted periodically throughout the year. If you would like someone to be on the prayer list or to continue to be on the prayer list, please contact the church office. 860-628-5759.
Will You Share Your Time & Talent with Zion? We encourage you (one per person) to complete the yellow brochure and drop it off in the collection plate, in the basket in the Gathering Place, or mail it to the church! (You should have received one (or 2) in the June issue of “The Light.”)
We have extras available at church in case you need them. Please let us know how you would like to grow in your relationship with Zion and/or how you are already involved. Thank you! CLICK HERE IF YOU NEED ANOTHER FORM We’re gathering this information distribute to the lead person in each area (some are newer to these positions and it’s a great help to them!) Call the Church Office if you have any questions. Healing Service: There is a healing service within the Saturday 4PM worship service. This occurs on the First Saturday of each month. The healing service will not replace the regular worship service, but will be a part of it. Mark your calendars now!
Friday Afternoon Fellowship Drop-In…Please Join Us! A few people have been meeting in the Gathering Space on the 1st and 3rd Friday afternoons from 1:00PM to 3:00PM. It began where people were bringing their needlework, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, etc. while we visited and learned from each other. Now that the weather is getting warmer and it’s staying light a bit longer, you might want to come and socialize. Bring along what you are working on if you’d like, or just come to get to know others. Hope to see you there!
Looking for Some Great Recipes for the New Year? How about a Zion Cookbook? Look on the table in the Gathering Place for more information. If you have already paid for your cookbook(s), pick yours up! If you would like to purchase a book at Zion, please write your name on the order list and place your payment in the red box in the Gathering Place. CLICK HERE for an order form if you'd like to purchase a copy and can't get to Zion. Call the office with questions.
If you would like some help following the order of worship, ask an usher for a three-ring notebook. In it, you will find the order of worship for the season of Lent. You will still need to look in the Bible for the readings and the hymnal for the hymns. We hope these help!
Are You or Someone You Know Interested in Making Zion Your Church Home? If you’d like to find out more about Zion and/or how to become part of the community of Zion, text Pastor at 860-490-5784 or email him [email protected].
