Church Council Retreat

It doesn’t seem possible that January is over already! However, our Church Council took this month to review all of the accomplishments of Zion last year. We did a lot and we were excited about the resurgence of energy that grew last year. Looking towards 2018, we came up with another set of even higher goals. You will hear more about this in the months to come, but here are a few things you will be hearing about:

· Live streaming of the church service
· Better explanations in the bulletin of our church practices
· Mission trips to Puerto Rico
· New and improved website
· More options for giving besides just in the offering plate
· More activities for youth, and the start of a group for younger aged kids
· More outreach with email and Facebook newsletters describing all calendar events
· Renewed maintenance of membership reaching out to all
· The creation of a Job/Talent Directory
· More fellowship for all, while also adding targeted events such as things for moms or men
· The creation of a long-term spending plan

It was good to dream and think about all that Zion can do to impact our members, friends, community and the world. Feel free to reach out to any council member with your ideas or suggestions!
