SECRET SISTERS: This week, we found out that MetEd will be turning off the electric in various parts of Myerstown on Saturday April 26. Unfortunately, this has caused us to make the decision to postpone the Secret Sister Reveal brunch until Saturday, May 10 at 11:00 AM. We are looking forward to the reveal, but will just have to wait a few more weeks. If you plan to attend, please sign up on the sheet in the office hallway bulletin board or the one at the back entrance. Any questions, please call or text Marae Clauser at 717-228-8967.

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.
Making Shopping Bag Mats for the Homeless ... Thursday at 9:00am
United Women of Faith meetings are the first Wednesday of every month at 2:00pm in Fellowship Hall. All women are welcome to join us! Next meeting is May 7
We have two services here at Zion on Sunday morning, but we are really just one body of believers. When a member from the 11 am service mentioned that she is finally getting to know some 9 am people by attending Monday night Bible study, an idea was born to get better acquainted. A simple questionnaire is being distributed that will help me to write a short bio on you (and/or your family). I will compose it based on your answers. Each Sunday, beginning with the first Sunday in Advent, an introduction of each respondent will be included as a looseleaf half page in the bulletin.Two dozen are already completed, but I will need your help in order to ensure that no one is missed. If you haven’t yet received a questionnaire, please let me know. You will have an opportunity to preview your “story” and approve it prior to it being included in the bulletin. Thank you for being part of our great big family – Mari Conners
Save the Date: Zion Women's Retreat, Saturday, October 4 at Creekside Fellowship Center, South Race Street, Myerstown. More details to follow.
Thank You to My Church Family!
I want to sincerely thank all of my church family for the many cards, calls, flowers, visits, prayers—and even a few McDonald’s McFlurrys! As I continue to recover from my recent back surgery, the outpouring of love and support that you’ve shown to Beth and me has truly blown us away. It’s a powerful reminder of the kind of love God’s people can share with one another, especially in times of need. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you again.
Jim & Beth Mellon
Reminder of Church Office Hours: Our church office is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 1pm. If you have questions or need to submit information for the bulletin, please call Judy at 717-866-6839, or email at Zionumc22@gmail.com
Have a blessed week!
