ZKids Touring VBS // GOD'S WARS 2019
This will be the third summer ZKids has taken a VBS program to rural churches of North Iowa! This is an outreach ministry that we as Zion are able to empower those churches in our community to customize it how they would like - whether they prepare a meal, recruit small group leaders, offer to lead a prayer or just provide the building - We do not charge the churches anything to have the ZKids Ministry Team come, we only ask they prepare registration! This way their leaders and staff are able to put up a captivating VBS for their community and spend their funds and time on meeting the people God brought to their church!
Join us in two ways:
1. Pray for the rural churches who are worshiping 20-100 people weekly that God would begin to MOVE! Maybe with numbers but for sure in hearts!
2. If you have kids ages 4-11, or would like to volunteer, you are welcome to attend our 2nd Night of "God Wars" at West Prairie Lutheran Church in Leland, IA - Friday, June 14th from 6-8p!http://westprairiechurch.com/vbs/
Alpha // Free Dinner!
Just come and see! If you have questions about life or the Christian faith, just come and see what Alpha is all about! Check it all out before you decide if you want to attend for the remainder of the sessions. Maybe you're not seeking, then invite someone else to come and see! We all know people...whether it's a co-worker, a friend, or even a spouse...who doubts Christianity or has questions. Alpha is the perfect place for them to come, be welcomed, and express their opinions. They are not our projects, but as people who are dearly loved by Jesus, we want to love them too! Alpha is just another mechanism for it. For more information and to sign up go to zionclearlake.org/alpha.

Discovering Journey Class
Jesus' final command in the Gospel is to “go and make disciples” (Matt. 28:19). But what does it mean to be a disciple and even more, how do we make people disciples?
Pastor Jason would like to invite you to join him this summer to Discovering Journey. Journey Groups are the primary way we make disciples here at Zion. This 11 week class is an accelerated approach for those who’d like to know and grow in Christ and understand what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. Discovering Journey is again on June 19th from 5:30-6:30 PM.
WILL NOT BE ON FRIDAYS DUE TO LOW NUMBERS

SUMMER COMMUNITY GROUPS
It's summer time, and you know what that means! The great outdoors, playgrounds, barbecues, festivals, the lake, Zion at the Park, and more!
