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.

YouTube Ministry Update

We’re excited to share that our church now has a new YouTube page dedicated specifically to sermon content! Once on YouTube, you can search for this link: @zionchurchMyerstown. This page features the weekly sermon as well as our Wednesday message, making it easy to watch and share these teachings.

Our original YouTube channel will continue to host the full worship services, and that link is myerstownzionchurch5132. We are grateful for the 292 subscribers who are already part of that community—thank you for your support!

Our new sermon-focused page is just getting started and currently has only 6 subscribers. We encourage everyone who is subscribed to our main channel to also subscribe to this new page. This will help us expand our reach and make it easier to share God’s Word through social media.

Please take a moment to subscribe, and don’t forget to share the page with friends, family, and others who may be blessed by these messages.

If you have any questions, please contact Pastor Tony.
