On Monday April 20th, we will have Dr. Anerio from the Dominican Republic sharing for the first 30 minutes of the Bible study.
We have 2 from Zion who are planning to go to the DR in May for the latest TLLM Mission Trip! David Wise and his grandson, Mason, have signed up to join a group of about 13 who plan to serve the first week of May. TLLM will have a benefit dinner on Saturday April 18 to raise funds for the ministry. Here is more information and the link to sign up to attend the dinner (Pastor Keith is the Keynote Speaker):
The National Day of Prayer Service - Thursday May 7th at 7:30pm
Creations of Love: Creations of Love ministry is about providing a way for parents to be able to bond with their premature deceased child(ren). We make homemade clothing designed to be able to fit babies that were either late term miscarriages or early term stillbirths. If parents going through these difficult times are able to dress their child(ren) it gives them an opportunity to bond to them. We have free yarn/supplies available.
LCCM Volunteers Needed Are you looking for a way to serve our community? Lebanon County Christian Ministries is looking for volunteers to help in their market on Thursday evenings from 4pm-7pm. Sign up sheets are on the bulletin boards. Contact Deb Carles if you have any questions at 717-954-2112
Men's Saturday Bible Study - 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month at 7:30am. We are currently studying the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. All men are welcome to join us!
Drug Take Back Day is Saturday 4/25. The purpose of this is to keep expired or unwanted drugs out of landfills/water/environment. There is a labeled container in the back of the church if you would like to safely dispose of them. Sherrie Burkhart will be taking them to the collection place. Everything is incinerated. Most anything is accepted except needles. It is not necessary to empty bottles but you can if desired. See Sherrie if you have any questions. Thank you for keeping our environment clean!
