Our Worship


God & the people of Zion invite you to worship with us Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m.

Each Sunday, we gather to sing praises, to pray together for the world and for one another. We listen to & read scripture, offer & give thanks for God’s generous gifts — our time, our talents and our possessions. We hear a message relevant to all ages. During the first and third Sundays, we celebrate Holy Communion.

Are you looking for a church home? We are praying that God leads you to Zion. There is a place for you, here.
