Circle of Love: a prayer ministry that supports our church families. It began in 2006; for five years our families have been under prayer by members of our congregation. We’ll celebrate our fifth year on February 12, 2012 right after the 10:30 service. Plan to attend - R.S.V.P. by Feb. 5th. Call Shelia or Tom Preston at 419-433-8504 or Georgia and Pat Scheid at 419-433-4198. We are thankful for all who have agreed to be part of the prayer team, and thankful that we may pray for all who attend Zion. Praise be to God.
The Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper is returning on Feb-ruary 21st, at 6:00p.m. in Zion’s Fellowship Hall. There will be games, fun & silliness for all ages, followed by a brief pre-Lenten worship. A free-will offering will be collected to cover the cost of the evening, and canned goods for Food Pantry will be welcomed. Please sign-up to let us know how many to prepare for. There is also a sign-up sheet for those who wish to help during the evening.
Wings of Love is coming! Plan to come to an enjoyable, relaxing evening of poetry, music, great food and wonderful fellowship on Saturday, February 25, 6:00 p.m. here at the church. Bring in your craft items for the teacup auction! Tickets are available for $5 from Judy Burrows or Julie Necina.
It’s Baby Month at Zion - we are collecting new or gently used baby clothes, blankets, crib sheets, disposable diapers, baby wipes, lotion, shampoo, powder, etc., and coupons for diapers. The collection will run until February 26th.
Have you been thinking about cleaning out those closets, cupboards and drawers? Goodwill Industries and the Volunteer Center in Sandusky have joined forces in the B the 1 project. SALM (Sandusky Area Lutheran in Mission) is supporting their efforts. Just pick up a packet of 4 Goodwill bags from the table in the narthex, fill them with items you no longer want and take them to a convenient Goodwill Store - ours is in the DrugMart Plaza. Those 4 bags will provide 1 Goodwill job for 1 person for 1 day. Clothing, household goods, toys, books and computers will be welcomed. Their goal was to fill 40,000 bags and they have extended the deadline for several more weeks. Please help yourself and make a difference in our community.
We’ll be updating the church’s address/phone directory in the near future. We need your latest addresses, phone numbers (cell phone numbers especially if you have given up your land line), and also your email address.
The Call Committee is requesting the members of Zion commit to saying the following prayer on a daily basis as we continue to await the arrival of our new pastor: Dear Lord, during this time of transition at Zion, we pray that you will open our minds, hearts, and spirits to welcome whomever You call to be the pastor of this fine church. Fill our imaginations and guide our wills, that we might follow only where You lead the way. In Jesus' name, Amen.
