Sunday School will start practicing for this year's Christmas program immediately after Thanksgiving. Please try to attend as many practices as possible as there will only be 4 practices before the program! If your child would like to play a musical instrument or sing during the service let me know as soon as possible.

PLEASE NOTE.....  Service time is 6:30 pm, in the 3rd floor commons area and this evening service is open to the public so if you miss in the morning at Zion you can catch Worship in the evening at East Park.
