We had scheduled a fishing trip on Lake Pulaski for July, but the boat will be sailing without us! We are rescheduling that one for Tuesday, Sept 1.

So for the month of July, our activity will be to go to the Minnesota History Center in St Paul and see the Minnesota’s Greatest Generation: The Depression, The War, The Boom exhibit on Tuesday, July 21. We will leave from the church at 9:30 and return you home about 3:00. When we arrive at the History Center, we will be greeted by a staff member to give us an overview of the building and exhibit. You will have free time to view the exhibit until about 11:30 when we break for lunch and then attend a short play at 12:30 that explores 1930’s popular culture and daily life amidst the turmoil of the Great Depression. The cost of transportation, the exhibit, and the play will be $20 (not including lunch).

This should be a trip that is fun and brings back many memories for you. Please sign up at the information desk in the church, or the church office, or call Idella (295.2732), or the Brenny’s (682.2979) to reserve your spot.

Zionaires are an active group of Zion seniors (age 55+) who meet monthly for fun, educational, and spiritual trips, discussions, special speakers, and more!

For example, in May Zionaires took a trip to explore the Como Park Conservatory and Zoo. It was a great day with transportation, guided tours, lunch, and much more for a minimal charge.

Mark down on your calendars for these probable upcoming events:

• June: Guest Speaker (check the weekly bulletin for details)
• July: Fishing & pontoon tour on Lake Pulaski
• August: Science Museum Titanic Adventure
• September: Arboretum scenic trip

Please join us for fellowship and fun!

On Wednesday, January 14, Maurean Fellger will talk about and show pictures of her recent trip to Australia.  Coffee will be served at 1:15 pm in the Fellowship Hall, followed by the program.

Zionaires is a group of seniors (55+) that has monthly events.  New faces are welcome.

In September, a large group of seniors from Zion visited the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis. Watch the Sunday bulletin announcement insert for details of the November Zionaires activity. In December, there will be a dinner, served by the office staff, on December 18.

Join the Zionaires Seniors Group on Monday, June 30th Zionaires to board a pontoon boat and see Buffalo from the lake.  The first group of ten will board the pontoon at the dock near the Sturges Park Pavilion at 10am, and a second group will leave a bit later.

Lunch will be at Zion at noon for both those who took a tour, and those who would just like lunch with friends.

Please sign up at the information desk by June 27.  If the weather is not suitable for boating, ‘plan B’ is to meet at Zion at 10am.

“Old Minnesota: Song of the North Star” is a touring stage show about Minnesota history, with songs, storytelling, and large-screen vintage images of the state. It was produced by composer/historian Warren Nelson, founder of Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua.

Several communities are hosting performances of the show in honor of the Minnesota Sesquicentennial.

Let’s go! It will be a great way to hear about Minnesota history.

Travel to Elk River High School on Tuesday evening, May 13th. Read the rest of this entry »
