This month, the theme in regards to sermon series, bible study, and all other aspects of ministry at The Z, is to PRAY and the importance of it. Zion Christian Ministries closed out the month of February with Corporate Prayer that took place on Sunday morning, February 23rd, then next up on Wildcard Wednesday, February 26th, came the intercessory prayer session, How to Pray and Understanding Intercessory: Unleashing Your Prayer Language and Life, facilitated by Sis. Robyn Marable. She is the leader of Zion's Intercessory Prayer Ministry and a very powerful praying woman of God. Both of those sessions were amazing, and now we are being challenged to journal our prayers and meditation moments with God by Real Talk at The Z hosts, Pastor Melissa Johnson and Minister Tonya Edwards. Click here to watch and listen to the clip of their explanation of the Journal Challenge. If you want to catch the entire podcast episode, click here.

Children's Church  is  a part of Zion's Youth Ministry. It is held on Sundays and designed specifically with the youth in mind. Oftentimes, our children get bored in the Sanctuary having to sit still in the midst of a bunch of adults, listening to songs and presentation of God's Word that they may or may not understand. We have developed a special experience specifically for our children age 3  and potty trained to age 11 . Zion's  Children's Church Experience enables the kids to actively engage in songs, scripture, and activities that they can understand and relate to. They are in a room with trained teachers and caregivers where they can talk and move about to keep them from getting restless and irritable. ALL PARENTS, please note that our Children's Church entry doors close promptly at 10:30 a.m. If your child or children are not checked in prior to the doors closing, they will need to attend The Experience in The Sanctuary with you.

ALPHA NURSERY is open to the first 5 children ages 6 months to 3 years old to register each week. The first 5 registrants will be the only children allowed in the nursery class. Weekly, once registration hits the maximum number of children, registration will close but reopen again each Wednesday for the following Sunday. Parents, remember you must register each week for your baby/toddler to attend Alpha Nursery Sunday mornings. Drop off begins at 9:45 a.m. and must be done by 10:30 a.m. before the doors close and lock. Pick up is promptly after The Z Experience ends.

Breakfast is served in City Café on Sunday mornings
8:00AM-9:30AM!
