Take Back the Night
Wednesday, we participated in the Farmington Family Crisis Center's Take Back the Night event. Take Back the Night is a movement that was started in the 70s and still happens to raise awareness about sexual abuse. Here are some pictures from our walk:

What's been going on lately?
Sorry updates haven't been posted for a bit! Let's give you some updates!
Zion's youth served in town at Birthright on Saturday, March 6th. We cleaned inside their office areas by dusting and vacuuming, we cleaned the outside of their windows, we picked up trash and pulled weeds around the property, and we cleaned out their garage that they used to use for garage sales. Our youth did a fantastic job! Thanks to all who participated!
The NYG Servant Auction occurred on March 7th. We received ten bids for jobs and have been working on them ever since! Several were completed during spring break, and a few more are in the works now too.
Our family movie night on Mar. 14th consisted of watching The Princess Bride, and we did a devotion talking about the dangers of the swamp and how those dangers can be similar to the temptations to sin. It's no fun when those ROUS's jump you from behind and try to get a bite! God helps us say no to Satan's temptations and protects us!
NYG youth served a delicious dinner on Mar. 17th for Lent with Frito Pie!
Spring break hanging out turned into working on the Servant Auction events, but we sure had fun serving!
Easter Sunday was great fun! We had an extra early worship service, a pancake and sausage breakfast, an Easter egg hunt, and our usually scheduled worship service. For pictures, check out the Facebook fan pages for Zion's youth and Zion as a whole.
Apr. 7th we had a visit from Farmington's "Sex Lady," Tammy Thomas! She talked with us about God's design for our sexuality and the dangers of being sexually active, plus how God loves us and forgives our sexual sins.
Our family movie night Apr. 11th included the movie Facing the Giants, and our devotion discussed the need for Christians to encourage others in the faith and to encourage those who do not believe as well.
Tomorrow night is our Take Back the Night servant event. Take Back the Night is a movement started on college campuses in the 70's to raise awareness about sexual abuse, and Farmington's Family Crisis Center is running the event here. Join us at church at 5:30 to make posters, and we'll drive over to join the walk and hear the speakers. We'll be back to church by 8:30. For more details, contact Sarah.
Saturday is also a servant event. Join us at FHS from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to help with the Special Olympics track meet! Working with people with disabilities is always a rewarding experience, so we hope to see you there!
Sunday is Zion Circle's spring dinner. Proceeds will go to the NYG group, and what Zion Circle raises will be matched 2 to 1 by Thrivent (Thrivent gives $1 for every $2 brought in). NYG youth are asked to be available to serve and clean and such.
Hope you got all that! We'll try to update more frequently again...
Jesus loves you and so do we! God bless!
