MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
God created us for fellowship with each other and we pray that all the women in our
congregation feel like they belong and have a place at Zion so created the Women’s Network to connect our ministries. If you are planning to attend a meeting please email or call the ministry’s contact person to give them a heads up that you are interested so they can be prepared to welcome you and make sure they are still meeting at the day and time shown below.
