Acolytes
Acolytes serve as assistants to the Pastor during the various Sunday morning and evening worship services, as well as the mid-week services. They bear the cross, light the candles, help with collection of the offerings, etc. To be trained, contact the church office.
Altar Guild
The Altar Guild provides spiritual, behind the scenes service to our Lord by preparing the Eucharist for each worship service.
Lawn Care
The lawn care group cares for the grounds of the church by mowing, trimming, and edging once a week from March through mid-November, and on an "as needed" basis at other times during the year. Currently there are six teams of mowers consisting of at least two members, and a schedule is prepared to assign teams to specific dates.

The group creates, packs, and mails Braille Gospel, Lent/Easter Hymn Books, and the Book of Luke, making it possible for thousands of blind and visually impaired people throughout the world to touch and read for themselves the promies of Jesus.

An hour is spent praying for the ministers, staff, teachers, and teacher's aides of Zion. Prayers are also said for the people listed in the bulletin, missionaries, Zion members in the armed forces, and personal family members. Bring a Bible... the group looks up verses to get to know God on a more personal level! It is amazing how quickly this hour goes by! Meets Thursdays at 10:00 am.
Quilters
The Zion Quilters have a long history of supporting the quilt project for Lutheran World Relief. At church they usually work on assembling the tied quilts consisting of back, filler, and pieced tops which have been cut, assembled, and stitched at home. Most of the supplies are donated. The work requires only basic sewing skills and is an enjoyable group project. Meets every Thursday from 10:30 am to noon.
