THE ZEST PROJECT
Zion: Expanding, Serving,
Teaching
Received to date for ZEST:
The final part of phase 2, the colonnade on the north side of the
Fellowship Hall, remains undone.
With winter only weeks away, any gifts, over and above regular giving to
the church’s general fund, would help greatly in getting this accomplished.
The money raised thus far has been expended on the entry way, new
roof and heating/cooling systems. Thank you for your gifts and prayers for
the project.
Phase 1: New roof, renovation, new entry: Approx.$500,000
Phase 2: New air-conditioning and heating.(incl. Colonnade for $31,000)
Phase 3: New addition: $1.2million

Quilts for Children Annual Silent Auction

The QFC Group will display many of their beautiful
quilts in the Fellowship Hall

sale through the silent auction venue. Be prepared to admire and bid on one
or several of these beautiful pieces! They are a
wonderful addition to your home, and are exceptional
Christmas gifts, too!
Creative Arts
We will be performing “Psalm 23” on Music Sunday, and “The LORD’s Prayer” at
the Harvest Dinner, both on November 13th. These skits are good for guys and
girls, young and old, so this is a great time for you to become involved if
God has been tugging on your heart to do so!! Practice for these events has
begun, but come on out to the Fellowship Hall on Tuesday evenings @ 7:00
p.m.
Heavenly Meals
If you need some support due to illness, injury, hospitalization, etc., we
would love to help! Please call

Dear Friends at Zion Church,
What a delightful visit we of the MECO-US national
office and Board had with you folks this past weekend. Talk about going
“above and beyond.” It seemed that every time we turned around there was
food and more food. Even better was the joy of meeting and talking with so
many of you. You all have interesting lives of your own, and it was great
hearing so many of them.
The
US Board joins me in thanking you for your kind hospitality and your
continuing support of MECO and its ministries to the Muslim world. We will
do our best to represent you well in this vital work.
Sincerely in Christ,
Keith
