THE BUZZ AT ZION
Taking His Word to the Ends of the Earth...The Jewish Passover is April 20th, and we have had a letter from Rich and Julia Freeman of Chosen People Ministries. Rich is very busy this Passover season traveling and presenting the beautiful message of Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah and the Passover Lamb. He asks for our prayers for his traveling and strength. Their Messianic Center in New York is in Phase 1 of construction - read all about it in their letter on the missions bulletin board.(Rich spoke in our Worship Service October 2007)

Greetings from Laramie!
I would like to thank the Women's Ministry and all those that volunteered in helping with the boxes of goodies that were sent out! It is very much appreciated and is a good reminder of home. Hopefully, all is well for everyone in Worland, and I am looking forward to coming home for the summer which is less then a month away now! Anyways, thanks again and God bless!!
Sincerely,
David Schneider
Dear Zion Family,
We are so grateful for your continued support as we continue our time in Dallas. The cookies were fabulous and we needed the sugar pick-me-up mid-semester. As we devoured the cookies, we were thinking of all your smiling faces. You have richly blessed us and we are very grateful. God bless you all.
God's love and blessings,
Jason and Kaylan Snyder
CELL PHONE vs. BIBLE
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bibles like we treat our cell phone?
~What if we carried it around in our purses/pockets?
~What if we flipped through it several times a day?
~What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
~What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
~What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
~What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
~What if we used it when we traveled?
~What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go....hmmmm...where is my Bible? Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill. Makes you stop and think "where are my priorities?"
And no dropped calls!
