How is God calling you to share your faith, time and talent at Zion?

“Fill our minds with His truth and our hearts with His love, that in His spirit we may be bonded together in a community of faith, family and a caring people.”

Wednesday Supper Volunteers: Wednesday night suppers are a great way to eat a delicious hot meal, greet and meet friends and neighbors. Volunteer supper teams come to cook, serve, and clean up on a 5 week rotation. Additional help is needed especially for the soup/chili team and the chicken kiev team. Contact Cindy Bonde (684.1467) or Dorothy Valentine (682.6695).

Homebound Communion Visitors: Communion at Zion continues long after the 10:30 service has finished every first Sunday of the month. Volunteer visitors take the communion elements out to those who cannot join us here at Zion for worship. This is an excellent way to extend worship beyond Zion’s walls and also offer a friendly visit to some of our homebound members. Training is available. Contact Sherilyn Burgdorf at 682.1245 ext. 307 or sburgdorf.at.ZionBuffalo.dot.org
