First Communion on Sunday, February 5th. Please call the
church office at 419-433-4711 to let us know if your child will attend,
so we can order enough materials.

soon as possible. You may come to the church for prayer time or pray at
home. Participants are invited to meet for breakfast in the fellowship
hall at 7:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. If you have any questions call
Pastor Ralph or Shelia and Tom Preston.
The January Newsletter
We have encountered a problem with mailing the
January Messenger. As you may know, the U. S. Post Office is
trying to economize and one of their new policies is that bulk mailing
can no longer be done in Huron, so the newsletter must be
taken to Norwalk or Sandusky which has delayed this month's mailing. We
are sorry for the inconvenience. It would be most helpful if the
office at Zion had e-mail addresses so that information can be sent
directly to you. We will be requesting e-mail addresses as we prepare
the next church directory.
