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 this Sunday immediately after our Blessing of the Animals at Zion.

Bring your favorite dish!  Always a great time with Miller hospitality!

Bring your animal companions to church on Sunday!!

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 our Annual Hayride!!!

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. 

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!

On October 6 Zion begins another week as the host congregation at Promise House. We will be the host congregation from Sunday October 6 through Saturday October 12.  This has become a special opportunity for local mission for Zion and area churches and it is a a time enjoyed by many of our members.

 

Mike is preparing the volunteer list.  Volunteers are needed to cook evening meals as well as to provide special supplies.  In addition, Family Promise families always enjoy Zion members dropping by for conversation and fellowship. Many lasting friendships have developed from our time with Family Promise families and we always look forward to our time in Promise House.
