Coffee Drive for Faith Kitchen
Once again during January and February, Zion will be collecting coffee to be served at Faith Kitchen. Particularly during the winter months, a hot cup of coffee served with daily lunches is greatly appreciated by the 80 to 100 people who come to the Kitchen for a free lunch. Fortunately, this is also a time when coffee is often on sale at our grocery stores. If you are able, please pick up some coffee on your next shopping trip. We will be collecting them in the narthex at church and at the CEB. Our goal is to collect over 200 pounds!
Thank You from the Social Ministry Committee
A big thanks to everyone who participated in our Christmas projects, especially those on the Social Ministry committee who worked so hard to make these projects happen.
The Giving Tree - 20 children currently or recently in the Family Promise Network received three gifts each from volunteers at Zion, helping to make the Christmas season a little merrier for those families.
Senior "Baskets" - Over 100 gift cards with Christmas cards decorated by the Sunday School children were delivered to the Clinton and Flemington food pantries for seniors in need.
Alternative Giving - Nearly $1400 was collected for our selected charities this year. $400 for ELCA honeybee project, $410 for Market Street Mission, $335 for Puppies Behind Bars and $210 for Give Kids the World.
