• Sunday worship services will be in-person only, with Rev. Maggie presiding
• Hymn books and a green sheet will be available in place of computer-projected text.

August 2022:
• While Rev. Maggie is on vacation from August 4 to 24, there will be pastoral care coverage provided.

During times of in-person gatherings, these Covid 19 protocols will be in place for your safety: masking, physical distancing, hand sanitizer, and open windows for ventilation.
For those of you who have been enjoying virtual worship from the comfort of your home, please be encouraged to select from a number of previously recorded Sunday services found on Zion’s YouTube channel (tinyurl.com/zionunited), or virtually visit another community of faith of your choice.
The Praising Team wishes to express their gratitude to the Zion community of faith for your encouragement and support during the many Covid-19 challenges and pivots. Our prayer is that each one of you experience a summer filled with God’s rest and renewal.
