Exodus 20
For six weeks, the story of Moses will be our guide in worship. By the good gifts of our people, in visual display, song, word, drama, Scripture, and proclamation, we can explore Moses' story in a variety of ways with the hopeful expectation that we will experience God, how God works in the world, and in our lives.

Bringing back an old tradition from Zion, the Youth will be putting on a Soft Softball Game this fall! This competition will pit parents against children, and I expect the competition to be fierce! This game was once played on an annual basis for Zion Family Fest, and I expect this slightly modified version to be an annual competition as well. Even if you're not participating, please feel free to come out and cheer on the competitors as they battle for on-field dominance!
