School Kits
With sales on now for school supplies, this is an excellent time to buy them to make up school kits for Lutheran World Relief.A school kit may provide the only supplies for children returning to school after the disruption of war. School kits help parents continue their children education, even while living in a refugee camp, for example. A school kit may also be used in adult literacy classes.Include the following items in each school kit: - Notebooks of wide- or college-ruled paper approximately 8" x 10 ½" totaling 150-200 sheets (if using 70-sheet notebooks, please include three); no loose-leaf paper
- One blunt scissors (safety scissors with embedded steel blades work well)
- One 30-centimeter ruler, or a ruler with centimeters on one side and inches on the other
- One pencil sharpener
- Six new, unsharpened #2 pencils with erasers; secure together with a rubber band
- One eraser approximately 2 ½" long
- 12 sheets of construction paper in assorted colors (if necessary, fold in half to fit into the school kit bag)
- One box of 16 or 24 crayons
- One sturdy cloth bag approximately 12" X 14" with cloth handles or drawstring closure
Do not add other items or leave out any of the items listed. All items should be new and in good condition. Remove any excess packaging and pack items in the bag, fold the handles over, and secure with two large rubber bands or tie with yarn. Do not enclose the kit or any of its contents in plastic bags. These kits will be shipped to LWR in Oct. For more information, please see http://www.lwr.org/beinvolved/schoolkit.asp .

THE LUTHERAN MAGAZINE is now out with our wonderful 3 page article with absolutely gorgeous PHOTOS. This covers our last two major projects THE HOLY SPIRIT and also THE 150th Psalm Praise Ye The Lord from last Advent . We are so proud to have accomplished getting the article into the magazine. This took an entire year of working with ELCA....and the magazine staff, mainly Julie Sevig the Editor for Congregations. Writer and Photographer were hired by the ELCA and came to ZION to interview us, and take the photos. The article turned out beautifully and we couldn't be happier.

Giving Your Offering Electronically Did you know you can give your offering through electronic fund transfer (EFT). Using this method your weekly or monthly offering can be predetermined by you and automatically transferred by your bank directly to Zion. No more check writing, posting or hit & miss. It's very simple to set up and either Sandy Ayers or Joan Weidner can answer your questions. If you already have the authorization form from Sunday's service, good, if not, you may pick up a copy at the church office or download and print a copy from here .
Simply complete the form, attach a voided check from the account you wish to make the offering from, place in an envelope, then leave it in Sandy Ayers' mailbox and she'll handle it from there. Thereafter, your offering will be made automatically with no muss or fuss. For more information on the Electronic Funds Transfer method click here

How to Stay Safe in the World Today
reported by Susie Kowalski 1. Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents. 2. Do not stay at home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home. 3. Avoid walking on sidewalks or streets because 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians. 4. Avoid traveling by air, rail or water because 16% of all accidents involve these forms of transportation. 5. Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in hospitals, so above all else, avoid hospitals. But, you'll be pleased to learn that only .01% of all deaths occur in church during worship services or bible study and those occurrences are generally related to a medical precondition. Therefore, it's logical to assume the safest place for you is in church or bible study, so attend church regularly, it could save your life.
