After careful consideration, our Leadership Council has determined that the building will remain closed until further notice. Although we know it is difficult for some not to meet in person, our priority remains the health and safety of everyone at this time. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.

COMMUNITY NEWS
FOOD PANTRY: Thanks to our Caring Team, Zion has a new Food Pantry at the front of our church. Anyone in the community who is in need of its offering is welcome to take what you need and be blessed. Please contact the church if you would like to volunteer to monitor and stock the pantry for a week!
BOTTLE DRIVE TO SUPPORT CAMP BIMINI: Held on June 26th from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm in our parking lot at Zion United Church. Accepting empty beer bottles and cans, wine bottles, bladders, and tetra packs, cooler and liquor bottles.
COMMUNITY VOICES FORUM: The Prime Ministers Path and Sir John A. MacDonald statue have been the focus of significant controversy in Wilmot. The First Peoples Group (FPG) has been retained by the township to undertake a public engagement about these installations. Since the FPG wants all voices to be heard, different strategies have been designed to reach as many people as possible. Everyone who cares about Wilmot needs to respond to a survey that the FPG has created. There are a number of ways to access the survey. Go to on the township website https://www.wilmot.ca/en/living-here/prime-ministers-path-public-engagement.aspx and click the “Community Voices Forum”, contact moc.puorgselpoeptsrif@ydissac or call the township at 519-634-8444 to obtain a paper copy. Focused conversations are being planned in addition to gathering feedback from the survey. Biweekly updates about the engagement process will be posted on the township website. The Wilmot Ecumenical Working Group on Indigenous/Settler Issues feels that participating in these activities is an important step towards reconciliation. It provides an opportunity for conversations that, hopefully, will lead to increased awareness and understanding. Contact Dorothy Wilson at 519-662-9372 if you have any questions.
