THE BUZZ AT ZION
LIBRARY NEWSAnd Then We Were Women
By Dee Brestin
This personal study book explores the impact of women’s friendships on marriage and mothering. The author also looks within the family at sisters, daughters, and the ex-wife/new-wife relationship.
Come check it out.
It’s in your church library!
DIRECTORY PROOF IS IN!
A proof of the new church directory is in. We are asking that you please take a moment to double check for correct spelling of names, phone numbers, addresses etc. Please check both the pictorial directory and the address directory in the back. The proof will only be here for ONE WEEK! It will be sent in on Monday, March 31st. Thank You!
COOKIES FOR COLLEGE KIDS
Women’s Ministry is again sending out boxes of cookies for our college students who are away from home. Boxes will be assembled April 7th at 1:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall. Volunteers are needed for baking and packaging. Please call Sarah Lungren (347-3960) to volunteer.
Parents: WE NEED A HEAD COUNT,
so please call the church office to
request a box for your student or
to verify their address.
NEW FRIENDSHIP/MEMBERSHIP CLASS
If you are interested in joining the church or just finding out about Zion, please let the pastor know. The class will meet for five weeks during the Sunday School hour at 9:15 a.m. covering the doctrine, history, and ministries of the church. It will give you a chance to become more acquainted with and involved in the church.
WEB SITE UPDATE
If you would like to help freshen up Zion’s website and are knowledgeable of webpage building please let me know. I would like to add a few nifty features to the site. ~Jennifer
STRONG BACKS NEEDED
Jason and Amanda Taylor will arrive on Friday, March 28th. Steve is asking for a few good men to help unload what little things they have. They will be here sometime in the afternoon of the 28th. If you are willing and able to help, please call Steve to volunteer.
Opportunity Knocks!
Please help us welcome the Taylors to our family by helping fill their home with canned goods, paper supplies or anything you would like to contribute. Non-perishables can be left in Jason’s office anytime in the coming week. Perishable goods can be brought to his home on Wednesday the 26th or Thursday the 27th. Please note: Jason is extremely allergic to pineapple.
Thank you so much for your help!

CHAKULAFEST
JAMBO! Join us for the Chakula (food) fest right after the morning service. Your plate will be filled with many tasty “mini-bites” from countries like, Kenya, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, the Middle East, China and perhaps England are presently on the menu. But there is room for many more! There is NO CHARGE for this meal, although a donation basket will be present to receive any love offerings for the future Kenya trip. If you would like to prepare an ethnic dish that would be able to be served in small portions to approximately 100 people, please contact Jackie Becker (347-8379) or Sandi Mischke (347-4159) as soon as possible. They will say, “Na kwenda wewe.”
