This year, the National Day of Prayer is on Thursday, May 7th.  Through prayer, we can tap into God’s wisdom, strength, protection, and peace. He stands ready to respond to our needs when we humbly ask for divine intervention in the affairs of men. This year, we will host a prayer gathering here at Zion as we seek Him in scripture and fervent prayer. If you would like to participate in this event, please contact Linda Etzel at (610) 220-6989.

 

Pancake Breakfast & Easter Egg Hunt: Saturday, March 28th, from 9 am-11 am. The pancake breakfast will be from 9 am-10 am. The egg hunt, for infants - 5th grade, begins at 10 am.
