Take your place at the table in the fight to end hunger.  On Wednesday October 30 Zion will be the site for a public screening of A Place at the Table, an acclaimed documentary on the systemic causes of hunger in this country.  Zion is in partnership with Ohio Wesleyan University, Andrews House, the Delaware County Hunger Alliance and others in bringing this important statement to the larger Delaware Community.

The showing will be in our sanctuary at 6:30 on this date.  Please plan to attend.  Bring your friends! Visit www.takepart.com/table for more information.

Congratualtions to Terra and Jake as they were joined in holy matrimony at Zion on Saturday, October 19.

It doesn't seem that long ago little Terra was running around the pews at Zion.  We are so pleased she and Jake decided to choose Zion as the site of their wedding.  What a beautiful and special ceremony as two were joined to become one!

Thank you Shirley, Pete, Brian, Melissa, Sue and Emily for making this a special moment for the special couple.

 

I know you recognize the special place in this picture.  It is Promise House. There is a lot of loving and sharing going on at Promise House where families, temporarily without housing, find a warm place of support.

This is more than a house.  It is a home.  A member of Zion has reached out to these families by providing books, board games, puzzles and other forms of entertainment.  What a great idea!  As cold weather looms, the kids will be spending much more time inside.  There were nineteen children (19) at Promise House during the last week Zion was the host church

Can you help?  If you have any new or slightly used entertainment items of this type and they no longer have any use in your home, would you consider donating them?  We are reserving a place on the table against the rear wall of the sanctuary to store items for this purpose.  Please see Phyllis Brewer if you have any questions in this regard.  Please help if you can.

 

No doubt you have noticed something different about our church grounds.  Yes, we have said goodbye to our former parsonage and garage. They served us well. What now to do with that space?

We welcome your suggestions.  A Memorial Garden? More parking? Green space?  Now that our beautiful church is properly exposed, how might we feature the building with additional signage and lighting? 

We know you will have great ideas.  We will be engaging in a congregational conversation on the use of this space.  Please join us!
