Operation Christmas Child - Shoe Boxes by Friday, November 19th

Zion will again be serving as a drop off/relay site for Operation Christmas Child this year. As a family we encourage you to pack a special shoebox with items for needy and homeless girls and boys from across the world. Items we can recommend include school supplies, hygiene items, clothing, stuffed animals, toys. Shoe boxes are packed for children in three categories 2-4, 5-9, 10-14 year olds. The boxes will be placed throughout the churchpick up as many as you wish. You may also pack a regular sized shoe box if you would like. Please have the boxes returned to Zion no later than Friday, November 19th . These boxes will then be delivered November 21st to Bismarck before heading to a large processing center. As I sat in on a training conference call with people from all over the upper Midwest for the Shoebox projectI was inspired to set a new goal for our site. Last year we blew the previous years goal out of the water with packing more than 2,300 boxes. Lets reach for the goal of 2,500 boxes for children in need. Please begin bargain shopping now and lets fill those boxes to help our neighbors from around the world! We will also be needing some assistance transporting the boxes from Minot to Bismarck with trailers, pick-ups, large vehicles.
Please contact Chris if you are able to serve as part of the transportation team.

Dont miss out on this family event! read more ...

Come to Zions Adult Education series! Current and Upcoming:
Starting in September - the "Bible: Book of Faith Initiative"
Have you ever asked these questions?

Where did the Bible come from?
How can I Read the Bible with greater understanding?
Is there a Center to Scripture?
What kind of Authority does the Bible hold?
If you have then you will want to join the conversation this fall. The Adult Ministries Committee along with the staff of Zion will be leading an 8 weeks series on Making Sense of Scripture at study for anyone interested in learning more about the Bible.
There will be many opportunities to join in the conversation:
*Weekly sermons centering around the chapters of the book will be offered.
*Large group discussions will be offered on Wednesday night and Sunday

This is a great opportunity to learn more about how the Bible is such an important book of faith for every person.

Please read the Zion Visitor for all the announcements for the upcoming month.
