TO COME IN JUNE & JULY
Summer is here...
...and so comes adventures, camping, sports camps and weekend family time. That's part of the fun of summer!
While you're out and about this summer, we'd love to see you in worship at 9am on Sundays. However, we know summer is a busy time! We encourage you worship wherever you are at if you can't make to Zion. (Bonus: You can get a jump on those sermon notes!) ;)
Below are some fun options we have for Zion youth this summer!
