SCHOOL DRESSING DAYS
Zion will again participate in the School Dressing Days, sponsored by the Interfaith Council, on Friday and Saturday, August 9 and 10, 2013. Please mark your calendars now to help with this outreach program. Last year we had a wonderful response from members who donated clothes, underwear, and socks. We also had a great response to volunteering to help on the days of the event. By the way, there were many men helping from different churches, as well as women. Everyone who worked on this project felt they were as rewarded as the children who received the clothes. It made our hearts soar when we saw the look on the faces of the children, as well as the parents. I will give you more specific information at a later date. REMEMBER, SDD-AUGUST 9 & 10, 2013 Carol Rawls, Coordinator Each Wednesday at 11:30am, Rev. Barb conducts a mid-week prayer service. Please take this opportunity to join together in prayer as a community of faith. We will meet in the Sanctuary.
