Brand New Lenten Series on Wednesday Nights
Beginning on March 4 for 6 weeks, Rev. Eli will offer the video series Jesus: The God Who Knows Your Name by Max Lucado. We will gather in Beck Hall at 6 pm for a covered-dish dinner followed by the video of the week and a time of discussion. For thirty-three years Jesus felt everything that we have ever felt: weakness, weariness, rejections. His feelings got hurt. His feet grew tired. His head ached. To think of Jesus in such terms almost seems irreverent. But we have to remember that the people who saw Jesus first . . . saw him first as a person. If you would like a paperback copy of this new book which comes out on January 21, 2020, please get a check for $13 made out to Zion UCC to Sherry in the Church Office no later than February 20 for each copy you would like. The order will be placed on Friday, February 21, 2020. Plan to attend this special time of Church family learning!
Movie Night – March 15, 2020
Join us in the Parlor at 5 pm for this heart-warming, amazing movie.
Wonder tells the inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman. Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade. As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to find their compassion and acceptance, Auggie’s extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out. Wonder puts important themes — some that few adults can even wrap their heads around — completely into terms children can actually understand.
Thank you to our fantastic Christian Education Team for hosting Movie Night and providing the pizza, snacks, beverages for this special time of fellowship.
Thank you all who came for dinner and to support our mission. We hope to see you all at our April 25th Dinner.

Movie Night – Sunday, January 12, 2020 at 5 pm
Join us for the movie “A Question of Faith” on Sunday,
January 12. In the movie, Pastor David Newman is a loving husband and father, set to take over his dad’s church while neglecting the promises he’s made to his 12-year-old son, Eric.
Kate Hernandez is a spiritually driven single parent and owner of a local restaurant. Her daughter Maria is a free-spirited teenager aspiring to be the first in her family to go to college. John Danielson is the owner of a failing
construction company who sees his daughter Michelle’s fledgling singing career as a way out of financial trouble. The lives of these strangers collide when two twists of fate strike back to back. The first: while texting and driving in her car, Maria accidentally hits Eric, which lands Maria in jail and leaves Eric’s family with an unthinkable dilemma. The second: while auditioning for a major record label, Michelle collapses, leading to a discovery about her health which rocks the very foundation of her father’s dream. Pizza, snacks, beverages and great fellowship will be provided.
