This Week at Zion                

    

This Sunday at Zion we will be affirming the joint
ministries of Andrews House and Zion United Church of Christ within the larger Delaware community. We have recently signed a partnership agreement with Andrews House. This Sunday we will affirm that covenant. Don Chenoweth, director of Andrews House, will be bringing a message of loving with truth and action as we reflect upon how we might "give our lives away" in mission. Please plan to be with us. All are welcome at Zion!

That We May Be One

Sunday is always a special day at Zion as we gather to worship and give praise to God as a Christian faith community.  This Sunday we will celebrate the opportunity to come together to worship and it will be special for several reasons.  We will welcome our friend Don Chenoweth of Andrews House during our regular time of worship to covenant and exchange promises related to our joint ministries in Delaware.  Don will bring a message of truth and action calling us to help those who need assistance in our community.

We also celebrate this Sunday the fact that we are joined in Christian ministry with Love Fellowship Church.  Love Fellowship Church is an all-inclusive LGBT faith community which is working to reach out to all persons who desire a personal relationship with God.  Amen!  

As we recognize joint ministries within our community, we will also remember Christ Jesus as we come to His table. When we join in the communion meal we remember that we come to the table as brothers and sisters in God's family, ministering peace and justice, love and reconciliation to each other and out into the world.  All persons are welcome at the Lord's table.  No matter who we are or where we are on life's journey, we are welcome at the Lord's table.

Together in Christ,

PP

Welcome Love Fellowship
 
This Sunday afternoon we welcome to Zion, Love Fellowship Church.  The congregation of Love Fellowship will be worshipping at Zion on Sunday afternoons at 2:00. What a joy it is in Christian fellowship and love to be able to offer our brothers and sisters a safe and warm space to offer praise and witness to God's glory.  Please do not hesitate to worship with our new friends if you are able.
