You are your child’s PFD!!
In confirmation last week I learned that I am my child’s PFD, Personal Faith Developer. As parents we are given the task of developing our child’s faith. Do not fear you are not alone in this task. The Holy Spirit will help you along with Zion Church and School. You may wonder what a PFD does;

set an example, be authentic, and be faithful.

| Pastors in India Chapel Offerings:This year our school has chosen to support the Christian Resource Center in India. This is a center that helps to spread the Good News of Jesus in a country that is 97% non christian. Pastor Sam Thompson works at Christian Resource Center and is currently studying at Concordia Seminary. He told us in chapel how his GOOD NEWS CLASS brought a young sick girl to know Jesus love, she became a Christian. The girl was diagnosed with a heart problem and was not expected to live. Many years later Pastor Sam Thompson was surprised when he met the girl. She told him how Jesus healed her and her whole family had been baptized. God is at work in India through people at the Christian Resources Center. |
Our offering will go to support the work at the Christian Resource Center as they share Jesus. Namaste!
 |
| Children in India learning about Jesus! |
Book Order forms are in the Friday Folders. Please order online. Orders due by online by Friday September 12. The class activation code is GPF69. Please use the information sheet to help you order. You may order from more than the book orders sent home as there are many options online.

 |
| Please have your child count to 100. If they are not able to please work with them as I will be testing this in the next weeks. |
I can't wait to celebrate God's Blessings to Zion this weekend! Our God is GOOD!
May we join in the Psalmist and proclaim: "I was glad when they said to me, let us go to the house of the Lord!"
In HIM,
Amy Bernhardt
