Men-U May 31st

On May 31st we will resume meeting for Men-U breakfasts. Our first speaker will be Brad Brestel, the stewardship pastor at Berean Church. Brad’s topic will be “Is Capitalism and Wealth Accumulation Compatible with Christianity?” We will be meeting from 8:15 to 9:30 am in the coffee house area, and I would encourage you to set aside some time to come. Breakfast will be provided, so come hungry.

If you would like to help set up, pick up food, or in any other capacity, please email or call Mike Wittmann.  We could use a few volunteers to help things run smoothly. Also, if you have ideas for future topics, please let Mike know.

TWIG Friday May 16th

TWIG: third weekend in groups
Friday, May 16th at 6:30pm
AFC1 room

Whether you’re a regular attender or new to Zion we would love to have you join us! This is a great way to get to know just a few new people at a time and build community within the 18-30s age group.

We divide into groups and carpool to nearby restaurants for dinner. Bring a friend, co-worker, or neighbor- you’ll be in the same group.

If you have children, you’re welcome to take advantage of FREE childcare at Zion. Please call Megan Wesche if you plan to bring your child(ren).

Redeemer Update

Friends of Redeemer,

Here’s a brief schedule update; more details will follow shortly. Please contact me if you have any questions. Redeemer will begin meeting for weekly worship June 22 and we will be referring to these services as “Exploratory Worship” throughout the summer. We will plan on “officially launching” in early Fall. We are pursuing a lease arrangement with the Latvian Lutheran Church at 33rd & C. If we work out a deal it will provide the space we need for worship and kids ministry. The plan would be to hold a Sunday evening service.

*Weekly Prayer:*
Redeemer will be meeting for weekly prayer on Wednesdays, from 12:00pm to 12:30pm, at our property at 8th & D. The prayer time will start this Wednesday and run through the end of August. Please join us each week, or as you are able. It is very important for us to pray together.

*Exploratory Worship Services:*
The last three Exploratory Worship Services, prior to our weekly services, will be held May 25, June 8, and June 22. Each service will be at Zion Church, Sunday evening, 5pm. Nursery for newborn through 3’s will be provided. No children’s church or Sunday school yet (these will begin when we start meeting weekly). THE CHURCH PLANT AFC WILL NOT MEET ON THESE
SUNDAYS.

*Ordination Service for Steve Allen:*
Redeemer will be hosting the Ordination Service for our new RUF Campus minister Steve Allen, June 1 at Zion Church. The service will begin at 5pm. Please put this on your calendar and plan on attending.

Thanks.

Copy Machine for Sunday School and Awana

Sunday School teachers and Awana workers:  we now have a copy machine in the supply room.  In fact, we now have a supply room.  It’s where the crib room was during the nursery remodel.  And now that it is a supply room, thanks to Leah Noel and Jill Greff, it is well-stocked and well-organized.  Check it out.

Rummage Sale May 9th and 10th

Does this beautiful weather just make you want to clean out the closet, basement, and garage? Well, this is the week to load up the van or pickup, and bring your items to ZION, for the Peru Trip Rummage Sale. We will be collecting items on Wednesday evening (AWANA night) and Thursday evening, beginning at 6 PM. We do have a small storage room set aside at the church this week, if you want to bring in your items during church office hours. (Call the church to make arrangements.)

If you are available to help with sorting this Wednesday or Thursday evening (anytime between 6-9 PM), or Friday (between 7:30 AM and 5 PM) or Saturday (7:30 AM to 2 PM) during the sale, we would greatly appreciate it! It’s a wonderful time to visit with each other, work together, and meet people in this new neighborhood. Consider joining us because it is a great opportunity.

It would be helpful to know if you are bringing things or available to help. Call or email Marilyn Borchert (488-0190) or Leia Noel (435-0857). Thank you.
