Now that the 40 Days of Community is complete at Zion, there won’t be further new posts on this site.

Many of the mission projects that began during 40 Days will continue, and further updates on these and other mission projects will be posted at news.zionbuffalo.org under Missions & Social Ministry news.

For those seeking a small group experience at Zion, current and upcoming opportunities are also listed at news.zionbuffalo.org

Survey Results are Coming In

Filed under: Carry It Forward — Angela @ 1:18 pm

Have you completed the survey regarding current and future small groups, mission projects, and study programs?

What do you have to say?? Find the survey online.

So far we have received many helpful comments such as:

  • I have met some new people, friends, that I am grateful for. I hope Zion continues offering small group opportunities. That is what will make the church stronger, if people feel connected to others.
  • I enjoyed the small group feeling of accomplishment.
  • I was surprised how many people use the Food Shelf, and how much we can all help out in small ways. Even when we can’t do in large amounts.
  • I enjoyed seeing more people get involved.
  • Make plans now with current group for the future.
  • It’s been eye-opening to the many needs in our own and surrounding communities.

Small Groups:

  • 47% I am part of a current small group that plans to continue meeting after 40 Days
  • 12% I am part of a current small group that will not continue meeting after 40 Days
  • 12% I am not part of a current small group but I’d like to join a continuing small group
  • 29% I’m not in a small group and I probably won’t join one

Types of small group studies respondents would be interested in so far:

  • 41% Biblical Studies
  • 47% Book Studies or Christian Authors
  • 35% Marriage Enrichment
  • 12% Personal Finance
  • 24% Parenting
  • 59% Social Issues
  • 24% Other (creative was the only specific option so far listed)

Mission Projects

  • 59% I am involved with one of the current Mission projects, which will continue after 40 Days

The committee and the staff are considering how we can continue small groups and mission projects beyond 40 Days. Please take time to answer a few questions, even if you have not participated in a 40 Days of Community small group.
