  The Zion Women in Faith want to thank all the congregation and friends that have 

  helped make our Mat Ministry a success.  To date we have given approximately 160

 mats and 70 pillows. These mats and pillows were taken to Philly Deam Center, 

 Reading City Lights Shelter, and the Bethesada Mission in Harrisburg. 

 In each mat we include a fleece blanket, heat retaining silver blanket, hat, scarf, and

 socks and gloves.  We want to thank all those who donate the bags, those who work

 from home or attend Saturday morning sessions from 10-12 every 2nd and 4th

 Saturdays of the month. Those that help flatten bags, cut bags into strips, join the bags

 and roll the bags into balls to be used in crocheting the mats, and all those who donate

 items we put into mats; we appreciate everyone’s help because this project could not be 

 accomplished without the support of our Church Family.


 Souper Bowl Sunday extended:

 Bring your canned goods, soups, crackers and non-perishables for the local food  

 bank.  We will collect at the back entrance of the church on Sunday February 2,

 Sunday February 9 and Sunday, February 16.

 Please pick up your offering envelopes in the lobby. Thanks, Cookie Haag

 

 Thank you for supporting our tissue collection. The ELCO Foundation will be delivering 

 them to all schools in the district. We were able to provide 413 boxes of tissues.
