Noticing the needs of our neighbors and responding with compassion, generosity, and care is an important part of our faith. One of the ways we live that out each year is through our Change for Children Lenten giving project.

 

Throughout Lent (which begins on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 18th), Zion Kids are invited to bring in spare change as a way of learning that even small gifts—offered with love—can make a real difference. This year, our gifts will support Wright County Community Action, an organization that serves our neighbors through nutrition, education, housing, and self-sufficiency programs.

 

We will especially highlight the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) program, which meets right here at Zion each month. You can find more information about WIC and other programs here. 

 

A small change container will go home with the kids tomorrow Sunday February 8th. Children are encouraged to add to it throughout the week and bring it back each Sunday during Lent. Along the way, we’ll also have fun dress-up Sundays to help keep this practice visible, joyful, and front-of-mind for our kids—and for all of us.

 

 

Thank you for helping your children learn what it means to follow Jesus with open hearts and generous hands. We’re grateful to walk this Lenten journey together—one small act of love at a time.

Holy Communion is a part of all worship services on the first Sunday of the month.

If you are attending the online worship service, we know you won’t have the exact same elements that we use when we are in worship in the sanctuary. Gather any variety or wine or fruit juice, and any kind of bread product.

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

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.

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.  

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!

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! 

Grade 3-6

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Don't know where to turn? 

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 Harvest of Hands Group meets on the second and fourth Tuesday mornings at 9am and Wednesday evenings at 7pm.
