***Now also airing Sundays from 9:00-9:30 a.m.*** Zion has partnered with WMOH to air Grace Matters from 11:30 to 12:00 each Sunday morning following Zion’s worship service that weekly airs from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Grace Matters is a half-hour Christian radio program produced and sanctioned by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
Grace Matters is grounded in the
gospel of Jesus Christ and experienced in the creative thinking
and lives of program guests featured every week. Host Peter W.
Marty taps into the hearts and minds of interesting people who
believe that God’s grace makes a difference in the way they live
their lives. From boardrooms to baseball fields, and from the
developing world to your own backyard, Grace Matters’ guests
come from all walks of life. What they share in common is a
desire to live faithful lives of Christ-like meaning and
significance. |

December Adult Fellowship Activity The December Adult Fellowship event will take place at the Vinoklet Winery, 11069 Old Colerain Rd in Colerain Twp. Join us for Vinoklet Winery’s “Grill to Perfection” Dinner on Sunday December 7th at 6:00. Dinner begins with each guest sampling 7 of Vinoklet’s wines then choosing a ½ carafe (for single) or bottle (per couple) of your choice. After you choose your wine each guest will select either a steak, pork chop, chicken, or fish entrée with selections of salads, side dishes, and desserts offered buffet style. The entrée is grill your own. The cost of a dinner is typically between $25 - $30.00. Dress is generally casual. * Please note that this date is on the first Sunday in December rather than the usual 2nd Saturday as most people will likely have other family events for the holidays at that time.

ZION BOY SCOUT TROOP SIGNUP---There is a signup sheet in the Great Hall for those boys and adults that are interested in having and participating in the startup of a scout troop here at Zion. We will have a meeting here in October with the local Ft. Hamilton Boy Scout District Executive for those interested. We are looking for potential leaders (men and women) that would be willing to help make this a success. Boys 10 and up are welcome to sign-up. No scouting experience is necessary, however, if you had some in cubs or scouting please indicate when you signup. If there are any questions please call Don Keck 829-3630. We will keep the signup sheet active thru October. This would be a good start to establish a Scouting Ministry at Zion together with the girl scouts. We can build from those here at Zion, your friends, and from the local schools and cub packs in the area. |
