ANNUAL ZION CHURCH PICNIC 
 
One of our favorite annual church activities at Zion is our Fourth of July Picnic.  This year we will celebrate this annual tradition on Sunday June 29.

Please bring your favorite covered dish or dessert. Meat and condiments will be provided.  We will congregate for food and fellowship immediately following our time of worship.
 
 
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 8:00.  Parade step off is at 11:00.  See Pastor Pete or Emily for details.




BOB IRVIN SELECTED AS CO-GRAND MARSHAL 
JULY 4TH PARADE

The Delaware County Farm Bureau has selected Zion's own Bob Irvin to lead the annual Delaware 4th of July Parade this year as Co-Grand Marshal.  Bob was recently inducted into the Delaware County Agricultural Society Hall of Fame.

We can't wait to see Bob leading the parade!  A well deserved honor!

SILENT SANCTUARY
 

Do you enjoy the aroma of candles? Do you enjoy the setting sun through stained glass windows? Do you like watching the flickering of candlelight against the darkness? Do you like the thought of quiet meditation/prayer? 

  
Please feel free to join Skylar Seward every Friday evening at 7:00 pm. for a quiet,"soul refreshing" time of renewal.  Stay for 10 minutes, an hour or even two...whatever you need.  Hope to see you there! 
  
ALL are WELCOME!
