Zion's Weekly News 02/14/25

The 8th grade class has completed their Pay in Forward Projects. They will present their project after chapel on Wednesday, February 19, 2025.

Please make sure to check the lost and found tables for missing items while you are on campus. Items will be out on tables until Wednesday.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Candygram fundraiser for the 8th grade trip to D.C. We are grateful for your support. We hope you have a sweet Valentine’s Day!

Sincerely, your Zion 8th Grade Class

Zion families, mark your calendars for the annual Washington, D.C. fundraiser dinner! Your participation helps our 8th grade class cover part of the cost of their class trip to Washington, D.C. at the end of April. Join us for a catered dinner, live music, games and live and silent auctions. See the details below:

Date: Friday, March 7

Time: 7:00-9:00 p.m.

Location: Zion Worship Center & Lobby

Cost: $150/couple (single tickets also available for $75)

Sponsorships for the event are also available! Please see the information attached. Can't wait to see you there!

Applications for the 2025-2026 school year are now open! Incoming kindergarten - 8th grade students are tested by administrative staff before acceptance. Once again, we anticipate being at full capacity next year. We praise God for each student and family who comes to Zion!

Our re-enrollment period is now closed. Per our handbook, every family is automatically re-enrolled through our FACTS/Renweb system unless they give written notice that they are not returning. Any withdrawals will now result in a $500 fee per child, and the fee increases to $1000 per child on June 1.

We were able, through Zion and another collection effort, to provide almost 60 coats, with additional hats and scarves and gloves to the local community down the road. What a wonderful success, especially given that we will have some more cold days ahead of us! Thank you for your donations.

Have you ever closed your Bible and thought “what did I just read?” Starting January 12, we will partner with The Bible Recap to read through the Old Testament. The Bible Recap is a chronological reading plan with a daily podcast that highlights and summarizes the Bible in an easy-to-understand way. It will not only help you read scripture but help you love reading it. Click the button below for the reading plan or paper copies are available in the Lobby and Narthex.
