Down By The Creek Bank

Zion’s Joy Choir presented their annual special music program during the 8:30 and 10:30 worship services on April 13. Most of the children had speaking parts or solos, and all of them did a great job. Thanks to director Kristi Wagner and accompanist Jackie Kuhns for a wonderful year.

Young Ringers’ Conference

Twelve young ringers from Zion took time out of their summer to go to the Area VII Young Ringers Conference at Ironwood Springs Christian Ranch in Stewartville, Minnesota. The ringers spent the weekend of June 29-July 1 at the camp, using their time to ring, ring, ring, and ring more handbells, go horseback riding, swim, master a climbing wall, and enjoy games and a campfire. A final concert at the camp on Sunday morning completed the weekend.
