Join us for worship at Zion this Sunday, April 28, or Wednesday, May 1. In this week’s reading from the Book of Acts, we hear how Philip, led by the Spirit, encounters an Ethiopian official on the road and uses their encounter to share the gospel with him that led to the Ethiopian being baptized by Philip. Saint John reminds us in his first letter that we love God and others because God first loved us. In the gospel reading, Jesus teaches his disciples on the night he was arrested about those who abide in his word and love bear fruit, for apart from him, they can do nothing. Zion’s worship band will lead this week’s worship services and Jenee Provance will share the message.
Worship services are usually held each Sunday at 9:00 am and each Wednesday at 5:30 pm. The church office is open from 10:00 to 4:00, Monday through Thursday. You may email Vicki or Deb at zlcw@mncable.net and call the church phone number at 218-386-1733. Interim Pastor Keith Zeh is in Warroad every other week. To talk with him or set up a time to meet, contact him at 218-790-1764 or email him at pastorkeithzeh@gmail.com.
Are you interested in sewing quilt tops? Fabric is available! There is no special pattern you need to do. You can do blocks of any size. A top can even be made from various sizes of blocks. You could use strips to make the top. You can do some blocks and some strips. There doesn’t have to be a color scheme. The fabric should be cotton or cotton polyester blend. The only requirement is the finished quilt top must be 60″ x 80″. If you need fabric or have questions, please feel free to call Marlene Lewis at 218-386-2018 or Judy Landin at 218-242-0589.
If you happen to find items such as sheets, pillowcases, mattress pads, bedspreads, blankets, or even curtains that you’re not using, we can use them for quilting. The heavier fabric can be used for Lutheran World Relief school bags. We can always use leftover fabric from one of your projects. Items can be dropped off at the church anytime during the summer. If you are a rummage sale/yard sale shopper, you can always keep an eye out for the same supplies and donate them to the quilters. If you have questions, please call Marlene Lewis at 218-386-2018 or Judy Landin at 218-242-0589.

Please bring in the UPC symbol from any Our Family products that you buy. All we need is the barcode…all Our Family products’ barcodes start with 70253. Put them in the box hanging on the bulletin board just past the offices at the church. The Christian Education Committee cuts and counts them, mails them in to the company — and then we receive 5 cents for each barcode. Thanks for helping us with this ongoing fundraiser.
