November 23, 2011

                       Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; 
                                  his love endures forever.
 
                                       1 Chronicles 16:34


David prayed this prayer after the ark of the covenant was brought into the tent.  David passionately loved the Lord, his heart was moved to unspeakable joy in the Lord's presence.  We alsp give thanks to the Lord, for His love for us is great.  Jesus died to forgive our sins and rose to give us eternal life.
May we remember to thank Him for all of our blessings.

A tradition at Zion is to do a service project at Christmas time.  This is a great way to let the world know that JESUS the SAVIOR is born.  This year we will be collecting mittens, scarves, and hats.  This will be given to local ministries to help keep children warm.  Please bring your mittens, scarves, and hats to school and hang them on the mitten tree in the front hallway by the library.  Thank you for helping to teach your children to be generous to those in need.
