Feeding the 5000
August 22, 2010 — AngelaThe Wednesday night supper program at Zion has proven to be a great help for many people. Last year 5000 meals were served over a span of 30 Wednesdays throughout the year.
This year a sponsor program will help underwrite the cost of the meals.
Why Sponsors?
- Youth and families that are attending who are not able to pay fully or consistently for their meals.
- Financial realities that make coming to a dinner like these helpful in weekly family nutrition.
- The quality of the meals needs to be maintained.
- We don’t want to limit the number of people served.
Individual Sponsors: Each sponsor would be asked to donate $100 to help defray the Wednesday meal costs. The suggested donation of $3 per meal would continue each Wednesday but families and individuals who come to the Wednesday night suppers are welcomed even if they are unable to pay a full amount.
Corporate Sponsors: Does your employer encourage corporate sponsorships? Corporate sponsors would be asked to donate $100-200 in order to support families and individuals who come to the Wednesday night suppers but are unable to pay a full amount. Corporate sponsor might choose instead to donate a specific part of a meal, such as dessert.
Both corporate and individual sponsors will have the option to have their names publicized.
If interested in the sponsorship program please contact Sherilyn Burgdorf at the Zion office (682.1245 or via email), or Wednesday Night Supper coordinator Cindy Bonde (684.1467).
Summer Second Wednesdays Are Back!
June 20, 2010 — Angela
Second Wednesdays were a hit last summer. All who came enjoyed the meals, the conversation and connections as well as the worship, and the variety of activities. Make memories this summer with an evening celebrating music and worship.
Wednesday, July 14
Supper served 5-6pm
BBQ sandwiches and root beer floats will be served. Free-will donations to cover the cost will be accepted.
Worship service at 6:15
The worship service led by youth director Myron Crawford will include some Gospel music, and will last about a half-hour.
Adult Education Program at 7pm:How Christians Worship:
Christians worship with a wide variety of styles. Have you ever heard of snake handlers in worship? Have you ever wondered where the phrase “holy rollers” comes from? Do you know who the “liturgical police” are? All of these things have something to do with Christian worship. Pastor Ted will lead an adult education session on “Make A joyful Noise – How Christians Worship.” We will look at historical, generational, and ethnic trends in Christian worship and have an opportunity to reflect on our own preferences for worship.
Senior High Graceland at 7pm – Music: What Are You Listening To?

You can offer a few hours of time and make a big impact on families here at Zion. Wednesday night supper teams are welcoming new team members.
Can you help?
Families or individuals cook (it really is lightweight prep), serve, and clean up meals once every 6 weeks. Meals are served in a 6 week rotation giving each team the benefit of cooking the same meal each time they serve. You can choose which meal team you‟d like to join. Each team will be serving only 5 times during the entire year. Volunteer a few hours as a small commitment with a great reward for many people.
If you are willing to give time to help with this great outreach to Zion families and community members please contact Sherilyn Burgdorf in the church office, Cindy Bonde or Dorothy Valentine.
You‟ll benefit by meeting other Zion members that will become new friends and you‟ll also help many families and youth by providing a great “home-cooked” meal on busy Wednesday evenings.
