Community Activities at Zion

Zion's current Church Council Mission is to "Improve Communications within our Community". Our Council has taken this mission very seriously and has made several attempts this year to reach out to the community to increase our visibility and to give back to our community.

Below is a list of recent events Zion has been involved with throughout 2003.

November 2003: Craft Bazaar with United Church and the Elks club.

Our wonderful volunteers had met for many months each week to create exceptional crafts for this event. Some of these unsold crafts are still on display and available for sale through Christmas for party presents or friendship gifts.
This event was our first ever craft bazaar which yielded an incredible response on a very cold and snowy day in November. 10% of our funds will be sent to our local food bank "Loaves and Fishes" located on Miner Street, downtown Idaho Springs.

Our Fellowship Hall the day of the Craft Bazaar! WOW!!!!

Some of the volunteers from Zion hamming it up for a picture! Thanks Phil, Kim, Devin, Peggy, Lori and Judy for your help that day. A special THANK YOU to all of you who donated your crafts and time for this special event.

Lutherans KNOW HOW TO COOK!

Check these baked goods out!   Second to none! Praise God!

October 31, 2003: Trick or Treat at Zion

Halloween at Zion was a special time this year. We offered "Testimints" (mints packaged with scriptures) and pencils with Zion Lutheran Church stamped on each along with many other treats for those who stopped by. We had over 80 children stop by the church during this wonderful event this year. Thanks to those volunteers who cooked soup and made plenty of hot chocolate and coffee for those parents who endured the 12 degree temperatures!

July 2003: Rainbow Trail Bible School

Each summer Zion participates in a community Bible School camp typically held at United Church for all churches in the community and run by Rainbow Trail Day Camp. This wonderful ecumenical event in Idaho Springs brings many parents and children of different faiths together for worship all week long. The week is wrapped up with a special program in which the children share what they have learned each year with their parents.

July 4th, 2003: Fireworks and Treats on Independence Day.

Special music could be heard from Karen Fellbaum playing her saxophone during this cookout at Zion. Special Guitar music and an incredible array of food was available to all those who stopped by the church during this special day.
