Much appreciated items include canned fruit, boxed cereal, canned ravioli, canned pasta, canned beef stew, Rice-a-Roni, baking mix, pancake mix, body wash, and shampoo.
​
SONSHINE PROJECT is Zion’s caring outreach ministry serving those who live in the Rye Beach Complex. Call Shelia Preston 419-602-3298 for updates on the ever-changing needs of this community. Blessings be upon you all.
​
THE HURON COMMUNITY PRAYER PATH AND LABYRINTH is open year-round from dawn to dusk. It is a special space for prayer, meditation, and reflection in God’s nature and beauty. Please don’t miss an adoption opportunity. There is a sheet in the narthex regarding an adoption of a prayer station at the prayer path. You will have the privilege of keeping one prayer area nice for others to pray and commune with God. It would involve one time every 3 or 4 weeks. The instructions are listed along with the sign-up sheet. Check it out! If you have questions, contact Tom or Shelia Preston 419-433-8504. May you be blessed as we serve together.
Please see the link to the Prayer Path on this website under our RESOURCES tab.

The Prayer Path - HOLY GROUND
The Prayer Path has published a book, Holy Ground, that describes how the Prayer Path and Labyrinth got started, how it came together, the blessings people have received, and lives changed. The books are a fundraiser to help collect money for a replacement tractor. The books would make a wonderful Christmas present and are available for $15.00 in the narthex or see Shelia Preston. Please spread the word!
