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.

We are super excited to invite you to our 2nd annual Intergenerational Cookie Bake! It will take place, December 5th from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM in Fellowship Hall.

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.

The yearly meeting of the congregation is an opportunity to gather together to give thanks to God for the blessings of the past year and to look forward to our shared mission together for the next year and beyond. This is the business meeting of the congregation where we vote on the spending plan/budget for the coming year, elect members of the council and various other leadership roles. The Council serves as the governing body of the congregation between annual meetings and any special meetings that may be called. Zion generally holds the annual meeting the first or second week of December, but it can take place in either November or December according to the ZLC Constitution. All voting members are encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting.

 This year's St. Lucia celebration will begin with a program at 6:30pm in the sanctuary on Monday, December 15. After the program, we will celebrate this year with lots of Scandinavian treats. Santa Lucia and her court will be ready to treat you to fresh homemade Lucia rolls! Eat your early evening meal at home but save room for plenty of krumkake, rosettes, lefse, rice pudding, cookies, and other treats that will be waiting for you in the fellowship hall after the program. You will have the chance to make a woven heart to take home.
To accommodate families, the festivities will be finished by 8pm. There's no charge for the Lucia event. Invite friends and neighbors for a wonderful night of treats, music and stories. Child care will be provided if requested.

Christmas! Soft falling snow, kids with rosy cheeks, and choirs singing sweetly: “Jesus Christ is Born”. Those are the best of times, but for some, Christmas can become the saddest of times. For some, all the joy feels disingenuous. For those missing loved ones, overwhelmed by life, or for those who feel disconnected or lonely, this time of year can be especially difficult.
You are invited to gather in the Chapel/Library for a tradition called “Blue Christmas.” It is a quiet, reflective worship service for any who feel a disconnect between Christmas joy and how they are really feeling. God is the source of all love, care, and grace in our lives, so let us gather to worship Him. We will pray together, lighten our burdens, and share the reality that Christmas time isn’t always “Merry and Bright”, but even so, God is with us.
