Change for Children
- Contact
- Emily Comstock
Noticing the needs of our neighbors and responding with compassion, generosity, and care is an important part of our faith. One of the ways we live that out each year is through our Change for Children Lenten giving project.
Throughout Lent (which begins on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 18th), Zion Kids are invited to bring in spare change as a way of learning that even small gifts—offered with love—can make a real difference. This year, our gifts will support Wright County Community Action, an organization that serves our neighbors through nutrition, education, housing, and self-sufficiency programs.
We will especially highlight the Women, Infants & Children (WIC) program, which meets right here at Zion each month. You can find more information about WIC and other programs here.
A small change container will go home with the kids tomorrow Sunday February 8th. Children are encouraged to add to it throughout the week and bring it back each Sunday during Lent. Along the way, we’ll also have fun dress-up Sundays to help keep this practice visible, joyful, and front-of-mind for our kids—and for all of us.
Feb 22nd- Princess and Superhero
March 1st- Sports Day (wear your favorite sport or team)
March 8- PJ Day
March 15th- Green Day
March 22nd-Flannel Day
March 29th- Dress Your Best (Palm Sunday-Sunday School children sing in worship!)
Thank you for helping your children learn what it means to follow Jesus with open hearts and generous hands. We’re grateful to walk this Lenten journey together—one small act of love at a time.

You are invited to attend New Member Connect. This is for both those who are brand new to Zion and those who have been around for many years and just not gotten around to becoming an official member.
Membership is one way of connecting to this faith community. Membership affirms that we are connected together for the mission of this congregation and for the mutual development of our faith in Christ Jesus. “New Member Connect” is an opportunity to spend time in conversation with Zion pastors, staff, and others and to find out more about our mission and vision before committing to membership.
Gather in the Sacred Grounds youth room, where we will have a comfortable spot waiting for you! Children are welcome and the nursery is open and staffed during this time as well. Coffee, juice, and light breakfast choices will be provided.
