Family Promise
Thank you to everyone who volunteered to help make our guests’ time at Zion comfortable! It was nice to see some new names on the sign up board.
Update: Nichole and her adorable son Nyziah, from our last Family Promise hosting period, have moved into their own place! Nyziah has made some new friends and will be attending Kindergarten. This family was a pleasure to have with us and we wish them all the best.

Fall Food Harvest
Zion will be collecting non-perishable food items for Open Cupboard and Flemington Food Pantries. In recent years there has been an increase in the number of families who require help from the pantries to put food on their table. Children who go hungry are at risk for physical and mental developmental delays.
Current needs for Flemington and Open Cupboard are:
Flavored Oatmeal
Canned fruits
Chicken broth
Soup: Vegetable, Beef, Lentil
Canned pasta sauce
Canned tuna
Sugar
Coffee
Laundry Detergent
Toilet tissue
Adult diapers
Feminine Hygiene products
Shaving cream
Razors

Please remember to check dates on canned food items; the pantry cannot accept items beyond the expiration date.

Pictorial Directory
Thank you to everyone who had his or her picture taken for the new Zion directory. For those of you who missed the professional photography sessions it is not too late to be included in the 300th Anniversary directory. You can email a picture to Linda Held at heldover4@comcast.net. Please make sure that the pictures are high resolution so they can be transferred easily. Also note how you want the names to appear in the directory: for example if you want Tom or Thomas. We will be accepting pictures until the October 1.
