FAITH WEAVERS

Another year of Faith Weavers instruction here at Zion Lutheran Church is in the books. As always, our faithful group of students and volunteers had a year full of fun crafts, exciting games, memorable music, and enriching lessons that ultimately concluded with our end of the year picnic on May 7th. At this time I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the parents that cooperated with our Faith Weavers program by sharing their children with this church on Wednesday evenings, so that we can work to learn and grow by diving into the Bible each week. 

I would also like to thank our amazing group of volunteers who truly and absolutely make this program possible. We sincerely would not be able to provide this type of instruction if it not for the amazing commitment of our gifted leaders and guides. With that in mind, if you would like to answer the call to serve by helping with Faith Weavers next year, please contact Kim Baumann, Suzie Wachter, or Mr. Jareske (402-329-4313). To ensure the continued success of this ministry for the future, we would like to find a few additional volunteers to help in various areas next year. Given our needs for this year and looking forward, we are specifically looking for, at least, two new volunteers to assist by cooking, several volunteers to help by serving the meal without cooking, and several volunteers to assist with the Crafts Station. For details, please contact Mr. J at the church phone number to inquire.   

Finally, we would like to thank this congregation for their support, encouragement, prayers, and generosity. Your collaboration with this program this year has been truly and greatly appreciated!  

ZION TUITION ASSISTANCE FUND

If you would like to help provide students with a Christian education, please consider donating to the Zion tuition assistance fund. It is easy to donate! Make checks payable to Zion Lutheran School and just write in the memo tuition assistance. Have a special student in mind for assistance? Contact the school office at 329-4658 to set up a donation for them.

SCRIP

If you would like to purchase Scrip, order forms are available in the Narthex. Order forms and/or RaiseRight purchases need to be submitted before Tuesday of each week. Contact the school office at 329-4658 with any questions.

USHERING

If any youth students would be willing to assist during church services on Sunday mornings, please call 402-329-4313 to let the church office know. We are currently looking for both ushers and technology booth assistance, and training will be provided for anyone willing to serve in either capacity.

TECH HELP

If you have a general interest in sound, video, or computers, and would like to use those talents to help on Sunday morning, please call the church office (402-329-4313) to inquire. We are currently looking for a few new people who would like to assist in the technology booth running the sound board, managing the video camera, and/or running the slides, and if you would like to help in this way, an opportunity to receive some training can absolutely be organized. 

VISITOR CARDS

Please make sure to have visiting family members, or new visitors, fill out the visitor cards, not attendance cards, if they are only attending for the week.

ALUMINUM CAN COLLECTION

If you would like to collect and donate your aluminum cans to Zion Lutheran Church, bags of cans can be placed in the fenced in cage in the gravel parking lot near the garage. We do ask that all cans be completely empty before being donated, cans be bagged together, and because we will not be inspecting the bags, that only aluminum be included, not other garbage. It would also be our preference that cans are crushed, so that way we are getting the most from each bag, but this is not a necessity. Also, if you happen to notice in your donation attempts that the cage has become full, please feel free to alert the church office. We appreciate your help!   

BLOOD DRIVE

The next Community Blood Drive is taking place on Tuesday, June 17, from 12:00pm-6:00pm at Christ Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall. Please contact Lori Wragge at (402) 860–1444 or visit RedCrossBlood.org and enter: Pierce to schedule an appointment.
