Noisy Sunday         

Noisy Sunday is the last Sunday of the month. Bring your extra change (or bills) to share with Zion’s families in need. Our next noisy Sunday is January 29, 2012. It will be for families in need. In February it will be for Rebekah’s Haven. March will be for our youth for “Acquiring the Fire” weekend. December’s donation of $44.96 went to Toledo Gospel Rescue Mission

Happy New Year!
 
Start your New Year out right! Join us for Worship Service at 10:15 am!
January 22, 2012 will be “Bring a Friend or Family Member to Church”. We will give out our coffee mugs to visitors.
 
 
MOVIE NIGHT: The next movie night will be on January 21st and will be Faith Like Potatoes.” This movie is based on a true story of a farmer who moves his family to South Africa, suffers a series of losses, and only then discovers his life’s true purpose. A man whose faith, (like his potatoes) grows unseen until the harvest. Please join us for a pot-luck meal at 5:30 and the Movie at 6:15. Everyone is welcome!
 

Peace,
Pastor Floyd

150th Anniversary
Thank You!
The anniversary was celebrated with many special events throughout the year. Many meetings and lots of work with Pastor Ron made every event a success.
 
The picture directory started with many meetings, phone calls, and great participation by our members. Next came the Sesquicentennial Book…..Again, months and weeks of get to-gethers led by Pastor Ron and the committee of many volunteers. Finally The DVD’s were completed and they are wonderful.
 
October arrived with many special days for celebrations. October 1st hosted the German Pork Dinner for the community. October 2nd was the DVD’s of Zion’s members. October 9th was a special youth service. October 16th there was the 10:15am Worship Service followed by a free dinner for members and guests, 2:30 was the Anniversary Service. October 23rd was a special 10:15 Service with a Musical Concert in the evening. October 30th was the Family Harvest Turkey Dinner, and the children’s Halloween events. Thank You! God is blessing Zion through all of YOU!
We had many donations and we would like to say thank you to all. Thank You Everyone!
 
The celebration should continue in our hearts as we praise God for the people of Zion. We ask that He guide us into the future and show Zion the way to reach out to His people here and in the community. We have our mission!
Know Jesus, Make Jesus Known.
Did You Know?????
 
Do you know where Satan got his power for evil?
 
The answer is this: The origin of evil is one of the greatest theological problems we have. Let’s turn to Scripture that gives to us the origin of evil, as far as we know. It tells of the fall of Satan: “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou has said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God…” (Isaiah 14:12,13). Satan was created with the power from God, but then he said in his heart, “I want to be like the most High.” This creature wanted to be like God—so much so that he wanted to take GOD’s place. He was far superior to any of God’s angels or creations, so he felt he could set his will over the will of God. That’s what sin is: TO SET YOUR WILL OVER THE WILL OF GOD. How many men and women are living self-sufficient lives AND DECIDE THAT THEY DON’T NEED GOD? He gets in their way, and they’d like to get rid of Him if they could. There are those today who make the statement of what they are going to do, and even though it’s contrary to the will of God, they don’t mind saying it or trying to do it. And that is WHERE THEY LEAD THEMSELVES AWAY FROM GOD AND CLOSER TO EVIL.
