Zion Sunday Worship Update

Saints, due to both state and CDC regulations, along with guidance from the bishop's office, we have changed our Sunday worship schedule. We now offer a weekly in person Service of Holy Communion in the sanctuary at 9am. The 10:30 a.m. service on Zoom will continue throughout this summer. We will do another reevaluation of worship times and format come August as we plan for the fall. The transition team will be making some major proposals to us over the next weeks. More details about protocol and worship details for in-person worship will come in the next week or two. But here is the main thing.....Hooray! We are back in the sanctuary on Sunday mornings!

First and Third Friday Sanctuary Time and communion is now cancelled due to the addition of 9am Sunday in-person worship. We will continue 10:30 zoom communion on the first Sundays of the month.

Thank you all for keeping your calendars updated as we make these transitions. If it feels confusing, please call the office and we will be happy to help you figure it out. Peace, power and joy to all as we continue to trust the Spirit in these odd and blessed times!

Just because we aren't gathering for service at this time doesn't mean you have to go without your weekly sermon or worship.

Senior

Resource Libary

Due to changes in mobility and cognition over time (and in the midst of a global pandemic), it's only natural that our needs change as well. Not every senior has family nearby to lean on, which is where the church community can step up and support seniors in a big way.

Here are some resources for helping seniors with needs related to aging in place, daily living and combating social isolation.

Church Boosts Health and Wellness in Seniors

By Jason Lewis

Aging brings many changes in life. Getting older may mean that your activity slows down a bit, and the years can have a way of putting distance between you and old friends, which results in less social interaction. For seniors, the risk of isolation is high. Loneliness is not a path to good health, so it's essential for seniors to be engaged. One way to increase social engagement and battle loneliness is to become involved in a church, and such spiritual connectedness may benefit health as well.
