Boys School Ministry
The Wyoming Boys School ministry continues to share the Good News and has good news to report. The Boys School Ministry team consists of the body of Christ within our community. We have had several changes and growth this year. Ed Belleque of Thermopolis and Boys School chaplain of 30 years, retired in January and entrusted the position to Mike King of Worland. Mike has a real heart and a gift for ministering to these young men. Weekly evening Bible studies are being held. There are 4 worship teams and a number of speakers who minister on a rotation basis each Sunday afternoon. Many decisions for Christ as well as a baptism have happened this year.
Once again, we are planning to bless the boys with Christmas goodies on December 23rd, immediately following the worship service. This has become a greatly anticipated event, as their sweets are very limited there. If you would like to provide some Christmas cookies, candies, etc. this year, please bring them to Kings Carpet One with your name and address on them (they like to send thank you notes) by Friday, December 21st. Thank you for being a part of this crucial ministry, as this is a pivotal time in the lives of these young men. The impact we can make not only on their lives, but on our society as a whole is far reached.

HI, ALL!
Our young missionary, Mattie Brill, is still serving with Teen Mania Ministries in the Acquire the Fire call center on the north campus of Bethany College of Missions. She oversees the 1st-year interns who call to give teens in youth groups all over the country the opportunity to attend these life-changing events in their areas. Our very own youth group attended an Acquire the Fire in Billings just a few short weeks ago! There will be a Bake Sale/Craft Sale after church on December 9th to provide the financial support she needs to continue serving in this vital ministry to our teens! If anyone would like to contribute baked goods and/or homemade craft goods for the sale, you can leave them at the church or I will come and get them on Friday, 12/7 or Saturday, 12/8. My home phone is 347-3350.
Thank you so much for your continuing and vital prayer support, as well as your generous
financial support.
The vision of the expanding kingdom of God is alive and well at Zion! Mattie sends her love to all of you and is anxious to see you during the holidays!
Love to you All!

2007 CHRISTMAS CANTATA
IMAGINE
A Christmas Worship Experience
Imagine a world without Jesus. For many of us, that would be difficult to do. But there was a time when all the world knew was a world without Christ-a time when there was no Messiah, no joy, and no peace... But the moment would finally come for God to speak, the silence would be shattered by the cry of a newborn child!
Come and join us Sunday, December 16th during Morning Worship at 10:30am as the Chancel Choir performs this years’ cantata under the direction of Nancy Heiser. Worship the Lord, just as the shepherds and Wiseman did over 2000 years ago as you experience the power of the birth of the Savior!
OUR DAILY BREAD
They have arrived! The January, February, March 2008 edition of Our Daily Bread, in large print are here. They will be placed in the Narthex for you to pick one up. Should you wish to reserve one just call the office (347-2266) and I will set one back for you.
