Storytime with Jesus is a social opportunity at Zion for families with young children.  This is for all caregivers and children at Zion and in the wider community.  In other words: you do not need to be a member to attend---all are welcome! 

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! 

~To tell the old, old story  Of Jesus and his love.~

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.

If you are receiving communion at any worship service, please complete an electronic communion card.

We are excited for this new adventure and are kicking it off on September 7th with a Sunday School open house, both at 8:30am and 10:30am. At the open house, your child will find out who their teacher is, see their rooms, and get a sneak peek at what Faith in Motion looks like. Faith in Motion Sunday School will officially start on Sunday, September 14th . 
 
We hope you are as excited about the changes and upcoming year as we are! If so, and you still have yet to register: Sign Up Here! We can't wait! In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments regarding the changes, please reach out to Zion's Children and Family Ministry Team; we want to alleviate any concerns proactively.

WebpageSunday School


Sunday School is offered for age 3 to grade 5 during the 8:30 and 10:30 worship services.

Zion's Sunday School program follows a large group/small group model. Children will begin in worship with their families and then attend Sunday School after the Children's Message. When the children’s message is over, kids will gather for large group time to join in fun music, videos, activities, and skits to learn about the bible stories. After large group, kids will then follow their teachers to a classroom for small group time. Small group time is a time to dig deeper, ask questions, make crafts, do experiments, build friendships, and strengthen our relationship with God.

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 (take a right when you leave the Sanctuary) between worship service (9:30-10:30am), 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.
