AS WE GATHER in person for Worship each Sunday at 9:30am the service can also be viewed on our website at zionreformed.online.church and streaming on our YouTube channel. We will also rebroadcast a version of the service on WCET at noon on Friday and 10:30AM on Sunday. The service will continue to be available on YouTube to watch at your convenience.

PRAYER REQUEST: Please continue to pray for those in our congregation who are dealing with ongoing health issues.

THROUGHOUT February we are doing a Shampoo and Conditioner donation drive to offset budget costs and provide more variety in choice for our Threads/Personal Care Pantry Customers. Donations can be placed on the cart by the church mailboxes.

SIGN UP TODAY for Zion’s Second Annual Chili Cook-off on Sunday, March 3rd after the morning service!  Also new this year: a Macaroni and Cheese Cook-Off.  Start dreaming up your recipes to submit and plan to join us for this fun event!  There will also be activities for kids, led by our high school youth group students. While the event is free, we encourage you to consider a donation that will go toward the high school mission trip to Washington D.C. this summer.
