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.

Youth - High School


Confirmation for students in 6th - 8th grade will be held on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:45pm beginning October 1.
  • All incoming 6th graders and new to confirmation students are being asked to register HERE.
  • Those previously enrolled need not register again.


Confirmation isn’t just an academic process or a requirement for membership at Zion. It’s about forming Christ-followers. Confirmation at Zion is a carefully designed program – one that is designed to bring youth to a closer understanding of God’s Word, their savior Jesus Christ, and the Church as a whole.

We’ll begin with a full sound bath, a deeply relaxing experience where you simply lie back and receive. Crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other instruments are played in a way that creates gentle waves of sound throughout the room. These tones help guide the nervous system out of stress mode and into a calmer, more restorative state.

You don’t have to do anything. There’s no right or wrong way to experience it. Some people feel deeply relaxed, some feel emotional release, some notice physical sensations, and some simply enjoy a quiet mental reset. The sound works on both a physical and energetic level, helping the body unwind and the mind slow down.

As the sound bath unfolds, Reiki will also be offered. Reiki is a light touch or hands-hovering practice that supports the body’s natural ability to rebalance and restore itself. It’s not massage and it’s not intrusive. It’s a gentle, calming presence intended to help release tension and encourage a sense of ease.

Many people describe Reiki as feeling warm, soothing, or deeply peaceful. Others may not feel anything specific but notice afterward that they feel lighter, clearer, or more grounded.

Together, sound healing and Reiki create a space for deep rest, stress relief, and energetic reset. You can think of it as meditation made easy. You simply show up, get comfortable, and allow your body to receive.

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.
