Zion Fall Hayride 
at Miller's

One of the Zion highlights of each fall is our annual trip to Miller's Country Gardens for our seasonal hayride.

This year's Zion Fall Hayride will be on September 29 after our Blessing of the Animals at Zion.

Bring your favorite dish!  Always a great time with Miller hospitality!
Blessing of the Animals
 
Bring your animal companions to church on Sunday September 29.

We hope the weather permits us to hold an outside service on that day; our first outdoor service in over five years!

After celebrating the companionship we share with our animal friends, we will adjourn to Miller's Country Gardens for our Annual Hayride.


Team Zion (with PIN Director Kevin Crowley) at CropWalk 2012

CropWalk - Join Team Zion Online
 
This year's CropWalk is scheduled for October 6.  Zion has been a consistent supporter of this important effort which raises funds to fight hunger. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the proceeds go directly to People In Need (PIN).

The money raised is important, yes.  But equally important is the walk where we share our support with other members of Delaware's faith community. Please walk with us!!

Here is how to join up with Team Zion.  You might want to walk.  You might want to contribute.  You might want to do both. Here is what to do online to support the effort!


2.  Click on "Your Walk Info" in the top bar menu.
3.  Click on the "Sign Up" option.
4.  Of the three options, click on "join an existing team".
5.  Find Team Zion and click on "Join Team".
6.  Sign Up as a new member.  You may contribute or not.  It is up to you.
7.  You can handle the options from there.  Hope you will walk with us!!
