A Transition Team has been appointed to prepare the Zion congregational profile for the Minneapolis Area Synod. They will also prepare ‘marketing tools’ to help inform candidates for Zion’s senior pastorate. They will hand off this material to the Call Committee, yet to be appointeed sometime this summer.
A New Picture Directory!
April 18, 2008 — AngelaPlans are under way for the publication of a new church picture directory later this year, and we would like to include every member and regular attendee. Lifetouch has been doing church pictorial directories for over 40 years and their product is top notch, as we found when we worked with them in 2003.
Many volunteers will be needed to make this directory a success. Please contact Angela at abengtson (at) zionbuffalo (dot) org if you can help with any of these needs:
Mission Congratulations
April 18, 2008 — Angelaby Dave Wright
After 25 years of digging fish ponds, coddling Tilapia fingerlings with his farmer protégé, and negotiating the African bureaucracy, Dennis Murnyak and family are returning to the United States in July. You can find Dennis’s final report of their ministry here and a letter from Dennis here. It’s been an amazing journey and well worth the read. Our congregation has supported the Murnyaks financially and prayerfully since they began serving as missionaries in Tanzania in 1983.
This is just one of the many ways Zion has made a Christian impact on our international neighbors. We have sent approximately $30,000 to projects around the world from our building fund. Three percent of our contributions to Forward in Faith is ear-marked for missions. Each year Harvest of Hands commits thousands of dollars to alleviate suffering from hunger, and our Forty Days of Purpose has led to a groundswell of financial and social outreach locally. We can be proud of these efforts to act as Christ’s ambassadors.
