Pentecost Sunday - The Sunday School had a wonderful event that was enjoyed by all on Pentecost. Each student decorated two doves that were then attached to balloons, one to release and one to keep. Pastor Summer spoke about the significance of Pentecost and then blessed our doves. Not even rain could dampen the excitement of the children as they released their doves. Later we found out that the majority of them didn’t stray far from Zion and landed in the Melick apple orchard. A special thank you to Bonnie Stanski for organizing the needlepoint gifts for the young people who were confirmed that day.
Pretzel Prayer Sunday - The following Sunday was during Memorial Day weekend and the children enjoyed learning about prayer by making pretzels, prayer books, and prayer flowerpots. Everyone who attended commented on what a terrific time they had. Thank you to Sandy Matsen for leading and to Betty Lanka and Linda Held for assisting.
Zion Scavenger Hunt - The last time Sunday School was held this year was on June 2. Everyone met at the church, where we all enjoyed learning many interesting facts about Zion through a Zion Scavenger Hunt. At the end of our time together, gifts of appreciation were presented by Pastor Selover to each of our teachers: Sandy Matsen, Judy Formalarie and Mike Jennison (Adult Forum), Debra Kaufman (Confirmation), Brandi and Shelby Berenty (Kindergarten), Anissa Mikitiuk, Lily Mikitiuk and Linda Smith (1st/2nd Grade), Dawn, Dylan and Ryan Smith (3rd/4th Grade), Cindy Rupprecht (5th/6th Grade) and Melanie and Scott Hodges (Pre-K). Our Sunday School students also presented a special gift to Pastor Selover on her last official day at Zion - a flowerpot painted with butterflies that each of our Sunday School students completed with their fingerprint as the body of each butterfly. A special thank you to Linda Held for creating the Zion Scavenger Hunt and to all the teachers, parents and our pastors for helping out.
