Ministries

Individuals and groups share the work at Zion.

Community Kitchen & Garden

Zion's Community Kitchen & Garden provides a monthly free community meal on the third Wednesday of each month (except in December when it's on Christmas Day).  The garden provides fresh produce for use in the meals. We serve about 160 meals each month.  Volunteers are welcome and needed - there are jobs for all skill levels and there are sit-down jobs available.

funeral luncheons as is possible, and sponsors fund raising events for needs in the community, world, and within the church. Meetings are announced and held as needed.  All are invited to come out and join the fun.
