The office frequently needs photos for publications and you can help.

- Upload your photo to Photobucket or Flickr or another online service and email a link to Angela.
- Upload photos to Zion‟s group or fan page on Facebook.
Photos are the greatest need, but also consider sharing any Zion videos too via YouTube (send the office a link) or Facebook.
By the way, the ELCA is inviting members and the general public to submit their videos to a contest inspired by our tagline: “God’s work. Our hands.” Prizes include a $5,000 ministry grant for congregations or a $2,500 cash prize for individuals.
Building a Well in Nigeria
April 30, 2009 — Angela
Last night at Nigeria Night, children representing the Sunday School presented Kris Perry, Diaconal Minister with the Minneapolis Area Synod, with a check for the $1,350 they raised during Lent for a new well in Nigeria. When Kris Perry asked how they raised the money, one boy said” we gave way all our change.” They also passed around empty paint buckets for a “Noisy Offering” at all three worship services on of the Sundays of Lent.
Zion is looking seriously at beginning at partnership with a congregation of the Lutheran church of Christ in Nigeria. More educational opportunities and service projects for the LCCN are being planned for this year’s Vacation Bible School in June.
