This year the bonfire, the band, and the beautiful country setting will happen on October 21st. (Postponed from October 14th, postponed from October 7th).  Plan on an evening of fun for the whole church.  Bring your own comfy lawn chair and a frisbee or a football.  Hay rack rides.  S'mores.  It just doesn't get any better.

Come stand with Zion at the Lincoln Lifechain in a silent witness for life. Meet us at 46th & O streets. Signs are provided.

The Zion Shakespeare Club will take an excursion to watch the National Theater Live! production of King Lear, starring Ian McKellen.  Join us at the Grand, get comfy in the dream lounger seats, and munch some of the world’s least inexpensive popcorn.  We'll watch the poor old King descend in to madness, be betrayed by his treacherous daughters, and finally turn a corner towards repentance and forgiveness.  How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!
