Prayer Shawl Ministry
The prayer shawl ministry (knitters and crocheters) meets in the prayer room on the first and third Thursdays of each month, from 1:00-3:00pm.  If you are unable to attend the meeting but still want to participate, contact the office to be included on email communications. 

Prayer shawls are made full of prayers for the recipients. Our hope is that when the shawl is worn, they can feel the warmth of Jesus’ support, guidance and love. 
 If you know of someone who would benefit from receiving a prayer shawl, please contact the Zion office.

The focus is on children learning through stories, songs, and play that Jesus loves them.  

When? 
First & third Tuesday of each month at 9:15 am to 10:30 am, in Trinity Hall. If you can’t be here by 9:15, come anyway!

9:15-9:30    Arrival.  Kids play and socialize.
9:30-9:45    Learn through song and movement. 
9:45-10:00   Storytime.
10:00-10:20  Fun activity, snack, socialize.
10:20-10:30  Clean up 

Families are welcome to join this new opportunity for a themed story time each month.  Caregivers are encouraged to socialize while the children learn and play together.   No registration required, just come and enjoy!

New Member Orientation


You are invited to attend New Member Connect. This is for both those who are brand new to Zion and those who have been around for many years and just not gotten around to becoming an official member. 

Membership is one way of connecting to this faith community.  Membership affirms that we are connected together for the mission of this congregation and for the mutual development of our faith in Christ Jesus. “New Member Connect” is an opportunity to spend time in conversation with Zion pastors, staff, and others and to find out more about our mission and vision before committing to membership.

Gather in the Sacred Grounds youth room, where we will have a comfortable spot waiting for you! Children are welcome and the nursery is open and staffed during this time as well. Coffee, juice, and light breakfast choices will be provided.


10:30 AM

(June 2026) “I am created in God’s image. No matter what anyone else says.”
We’ll begin with the story of God’s creation and the “very goodness” that is spoken over every human being, hearing how those scriptures can be read as invitations to new freedom, community and vocation for people, regardless of gender, for all people were made in God’s image.

 (July 2026) “I am more than one thing: Honoring our many identities.”
In her TED talk, “The Danger of a Single Story,” Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie names this truth: We are much more than one thing. All of us have intersecting identities, roles and responsibilities. In this session, we’ll explore how the multiple identities of several women in Scripture shape their faithful living. Esther is not just a queen, but a niece, as well as part of an oppressed community of faith. Ruth is so much more than just a widow. Mary Magdalene has more identities than can fit within the allowed word count of this paragraph. So do you!

 (August 2026) “I am because you are: We need one another.”
Our individual identities are always bound up in community. Jesus describes this vision using a vine and branches. Archbishop Desmond Tutu describes this way of mutual interconnectedness as “Ubuntu,” where “my humanity is caught up and bound up inextricably with yours. I can only be fully me if you are fully you.” In delving into Scripture, we learn how no one can flourish unless everyone does, and how our lives are bound up with one another and the planet.
