Columbus Pride Parade

Join Emily and Jon Peterson and friends as they travel to Columbus for the 2014 Columbus Pride Parade on Saturday June 21.

George Takei is this year's Grand Marshal.

But you don't have to be a Star Trek fan to believe in equal rights and justice. Join us!

We will carpool from Zion at 9:00.  Parade step off is at 11:00.  See Pastor Pete or Emily for details.




Please welcome our Association Covenantal Elder

STRENGTHEN THE CHURCH OFFERING  

Each day, visions and dreams are created in the hearts of many in the United Church of  Christ. Through the Strengthen the Church offering, these visions and dreams can become a reality.

As God calls our congregations to be "church" in new ways, your generous gifts will plant new churches, awaken new ideas in existing churches, and develop spiritual life in our youth and young adults. Because of this offering, many more will hear the good news that "God is still speaking," 

Envelopes still available!
