Getting to Zion

Fellowship Groups

Wedding  Band
     A married couples group that meets for dinner out and then comes back to the church for devotions, a meeting, and games.
This group has been the life of the church since it was founded almost 50 years ago. They continue to fund missions in the community and youth who get involved in camping and the wider church.  They decorate the Sanctuary for Advent/Christmas.
     This group meets the 4th Tuesday of every month,  beginning  with dinner out at 5:30 pm  and the meeting at the church around 7:30 pm.

Women's Guild
    The Women's Guild of Zion goes all the way back to the original Frauenfrien, established with the church in 1852.
Like most church women's groups, these ladies have been the workhorse of the church. Their Ice Cream Social, Rummage Sales, and Christmas Cookie Sale, have brought in over $5000 a year. Most of this they give to charitable causes, and  the rest go towards church renovations and other needed funds.
   They gather for dessert at 1 pm and they have their meeting from 2-3 pm.

Sewing Group
   This group gathers to sew blankets for Church World Service.  They meet at 9 am on each Tuesday of the week.  Sometimes they share coffee and donuts,  sometimes they bring their sack lunches. This Group shares some mighty good discussions,  stories , histories and local gossip.
