ECUMENICAL YOUTH GROUP - Tomorrow!!!

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! 

 

FROM BETH

Thank you so much to all of you for the opportunity to serve here at Zion. Special thanks to Carrie for training me, Bill and Shirley for always "being there", Chuck and Nancy for sign duties and Shirley Irvin for her "newsy" phone calls.

The entire year has been a positive experience for me and there is a sadness in my leaving. Please continue to lift me in prayer as I attempt to slide into Jenn Sami's shoes at Family Promise. I look forward to the weeks Zion has a commitment there and hope our friendships do not fade.

Know that I will be praying for this church and for the new secretary whom I know God has already chosen! May God continue to richly bless "Pastor Pete", the Council and all the parishoners of Zion UCC.

In Him,
Beth Trigg

 

 
 
BELL RINGER OPENINGS 

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.

 
TOOL SHED

Our church Council has approved the construction of a storage facility for church equipment and tools.

Thank you Bob Irvin for your considerable work on this project.  Also, thank you to Wayne Rogers who has volunteered to construct the building this spring.

The facility will cost approximately $1,700. Several "lead" gifts and commitments have already been received.  If you would like to contribute to the purchase of this important addition it would be a welcome gift indeed!
