Melissa Peterson is preparing the meal. Pastor Pete will offer the devotion.  All we need is some help to serve the meal!  (Some desserts would be nice also!).  5:15 - 6:15 pm.

The Getting Ahead program is an ecumenical effort focused on developing skills of independence.  We will serve program attendees a sumptuous meal next Monday (January 13) at William Street UMC. Can you help serve?  Let Pastor Pete know if you can.  Thank you!

Well, who wouldn't be smiling if they were just served a bountiful meal of pulled pork sandwiches and ramen noodle cole slaw compliments of Sandy and George Lewis. Yum!

Thank you to all who helped make our week at Promise House a wonderful time of warmth and comfort for house families!

How sweet it is!  Grace Fuchs brings us news of a sweet offering; "Delectable Desserts".  This is an Ecumenical Youth Group fundraising event which appeals to the sweet tooth in each of us.  This event will be held at Willow Brook Delaware Run (100 Delaware Crossing West) on January 25 from 1:00 until 3:00 in the afternoon.

Participation cost is $10 to enter and sample each of the dessert entries.  Please see Grace Fuchs for more details in regard to this important fundraising activity.  Please help raise funds to support our youth and their Summer Youth Camp activities!  Thank you! 

 

Please let Brian know if you have an interest in joining Zion's Handbell Choir.  There are currently several openings in this august body.

As you know, this is an important part of our ministry at Zion and we always welcome the opportunity to make a joyful noise unto the Lord!

The Zion Handbell Choir provides important worship offerings to share with the congregation and, as you know, the choir is an active participant in the annual Delaware Community Bell Concert held each year at historic Gray Chapel on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan University.

 

We have renamed the Local Mission Fund.  It is now the Pastor's Purse.  The change will ease the tracking and accounting for our extensive Local Mission activities.  The title of the new fund honors Pastor Pete's grandfather, the Rev. Mr. John M. Peterson who maintained a "Parson's Purse" fund for emergency relief at the Prescott First Congregational Church in the town of Prescott, Wisconsin where Pastor Pete was born and baptized.  Please designate future emergency relief contributions to this fund.  Thank you for your continued support of these efforts.  You are making a difference in the lives of vulnerable persons!
