Shepherd's Hand Auction
Our annual Shepherd's Hand Auction/Supper is held on a Saturday evening in early October. The evening starts at 5 o'clock with a free-will BBQ supper and followed at 7 with the auction. Between 5 and 7 visitors view and bid on the numerous theme basket raffle and silent auction items.
Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School for children and adults is held on 4 consecutive nights during June or July.
It is scheduled based on the availabilty of the adults needed to lead the event.
An example year is 2016 when it was held on July 11 through July 14.
That years' theme was “Jesus Gathers Us Together” (Psalm 23) .
In Barnyard Roundup VBS, the children learned how Jesus cares, provides, leads, fogives,
and is our Savior and gathers us together now and forever, no matter what!
Psalm 23 shares our confident trust that our Lord is always with us!
Through five biblical events in Jesus' life, the kids learned to step out in faith, confident in Jesus' love for them.
Christmas Program
One of the highlights of the Christmas season is the Mt. Zion Christmas Program. This program is presented by the Sunday School members. It is truly an event that helps us remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Homecoming
Each August, Mt. Zion invites any and all current and prior friends to visit us during our annual Homecoming. The worship service is followed by the much anticipated covered-dish lunch with plenty of time to visit with old friends.
Quilts
An energetic group of Mt. Zion ladies spend about 1 day a week making quilts.
Quilts are given as a "special" gift to our graduating seniors, auctioned at our annual auction, and sent to Lutheran World Relief for worldwide distribution.
God's Work Our Hands
On a Sunday in June, we as a congregation serve our community in ways that share the love of God with all people. After a brief worship service and lunch we divide up into teams and spread out over the Valley
working on specific projects. We then report back to Mt. Zion, report on each team's activities, and eat ice cream.
This is one of everyone's favorite events.
