Hi All!
Here’s What’s Coming Up
- Christmas Eve services are scheduled for 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. this year. 3 p.m. will be a little shorter for those who can’t sit so long and those who don’t like to drive at night – candles, carols, communion.
7 p.m. will be a service including a Choir Cantata!!! Candles and Carols round out our service. O Come All Ye Faithful! - Special Invitation to 2 upcoming events: Sunday Dec. 14 at 9:45 a.m. Second Sunday Treats in the lower social hall until 10:10 a.m. All welcome!
- Dec. 21 in worship at 10:15 a.m. Come to worship to hear Susan Kohler play her saxophone as a gift of music in the middle of our service!
- Special Invitation: A special brief service of remembrance is being planned for Sunday, Dec. 28 after worship for a dear member who left this earth at the end of November. All are invited and the intention is to keep it to about 20 minutes after worship in the sanctuary so we can have some closure before the end of the year and allow the “Official” service of remembrance to take place on May 15, 2026 with a lunch following. There will be no refreshments after the Dec. 28 service. There has been no obituary and will not be an obituary until closer to May 15. Thanks.

- Please see your bulletins and your upcoming newsletter for other great upcoming events in the life of our church. Always available is our website also for looking into coming events. Also, you can find us on Facebook too! www.oldzionsucc.org
- We are still collecting all kinds of batteries and printer or ink cartridges to recycle at Staples. To date we have raised over $200 toward Staples purchases. I have small boxes at the front and ramp doors for your “contributions.” Or you can put bags of batteries and ink cartridges outside of my office. Thanks! Keep them coming. You are an awesome support of this interesting way to recycle and get credit at Staples for future purchases.
As always, we hold in prayer many of our members and friends who are walking through difficult seasons—facing grief, illness, loneliness, changes in living situations, and other challenges that weigh heavily on the heart. We also remember our brothers and sisters around the world who continue to recover from the devastation of war, oppression, and natural disasters.
At the same time, we give thanks for the many joys among us—birthdays and anniversaries, the gift of new life, healing and remission from illness, and countless other blessings that remind us of God’s goodness.
Peace to all,
