Opportunities to share common interests with others...
In May 1995 Zion embarked on a Congregational Growth Initiative. We looked at the numerous changes in our society and the role of the church in the 1990's. As a result, we have experienced the birth of a number of small group opportunities. If you have any ideas for small groups you would like to see started, contact the church office. The Small Groups currently meeting are:
- Children's Ministry Group
- Contemporary Music Team
- Garden Ministry
- Men's Group
- "Young at Heart" Small Group
- Wednesday Morning Bible Study
- Wise Women in Training
- Woodworking Group
- Youth Group
- Zion Orchestra
CHILDREN'S MINISTRY GROUP - The group organizes, directs, produces, and stages the weekly Children's Ministry program. The message, large group activities, and music are especially designed for children. Read about our children's education ministry. (Contact person is Helga Morrison)

Garden Ministry - This ministry is a summer ministry that takes advantage of our growing season. We ask people of our congregation to consider bringing in a portion of their harvest on Sunday mornings for the Garden Ministry table. Others who do not have gardens can share in this bounty by making a donation. This year we hope to make the "Food Connection" as the proceeds from Garden Ministry will be added to our World Hunger offerings. (Contact person is Julie Berntson)

MEN'S GROUP - Men of the congregation meet informally for breakfast the first Saturday of each month. They make plans to actively participate in church-related activities such as the Chicken BBQ fundraiser. The Men's Group helps out with many of our church property improvements that are necessary. The group is also instrumental in helping with food distributed to needy families and the Food Bank at holiday times. (Contact person is Fran King)

"Young at Heart" small group - Zion members and friends of the congregation that are in their twenties, thirties and forties make up this group. This group was started to help to get to know others better in their age group. (Contact persons are Ross and Julie Berntson.)

WEDNESDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY - This group meets every week, September to May, at 9:30 a.m. to discuss various aspects of the Bible. The group appeals to young mothers and non-working or retired women but is certainly open to anyone who is interested. (Contact person is Tammy Miller)
