Gardening Season is Here!
The Zion Unity Garden will be beginning a fourth year of service to our
neighborhood as soon as the weather warms up a bit. We have lots of
plans, and many small jobs to do. If you would like to be involved,
contact garden leader, Helen Geglio, by phone (233-6769) or by email
(geglio@sbcglobal.net) and you will be added to our “garden e-list” for
updates on activities and tasks. Once the weather evens off, someone is
usually there on Saturday mornings to show you around and get you
going. Bring gloves and hand tools when you come.
We are in need of a few “on-site tools”. If you have extra shovels,
rakes, or small hand tools, we would like to keep them in a storage area
right on the garden site. A hose reel would also be a nice addition. The
grass clippings for mulch and compost have been appreciated, just put
the bags in the area behind the sign. Thanks!

Dear Church Family,
We are excited to announce that we have requested the services of Lifetouch Church Directories to prepare our Pictorial Family Album. It will contain color portraits of all the families, some candid pictures of our activities and updated addresses and phone numbers.
Each family photographed will select a pose for the directory, and receive FREE:
An 8 x 10 Portrait or 9 Wallets
A Church Directory
For your convenience, you will be able to view your portraits within minutes from having them taken. There is NO OBLIGATION , however, you will have the opportunity to order portraits. Please bring your credit card, cash or checkbook.Do you know all fellow members by name? Are there families whom you do not know? We feel that this full color Church Pictorial Directory will help you to know each other and build stronger unity and closer fellowship. This Directory also serves as a very important outreach ministry tool.
If you are a generational family e.g. Grandparents, daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren, consider signing up together and having a generations picture taken along with your individual family pictures. You can also bring your musical instrument, sports paraphernalia, or a pet to reflect your personality in the photo.
All friends of the church are welcome & will receive the complimentary 8x10 but only our church family will receive the directory. So invite other family members or friends for photos.
