Ladies AidWhat is Zion's Ladies Aid?
The Zion Ladies Aid is a part of the above mentioned organization, working in tandem with the LWML to provide assistance and critical services to our church and the families of Zion in a variety of ways. The church altar paraments don't just show up in proper theme every week, nor does the communion set-up simply happen by itself. There are many busy women who make time in their lives to be of service to their Lord and to Zion congregation through its various committees. Families of deceased members of Zion may take comfort in knowing that our organization is standing ready to assist them in their time of need upon the death of their loved one with preparation, serving and clean-up of the funeral luncheon. Many of the women of our organization hold full-time jobs whether outside the home or fulfilling the responsibilities of their farming operation. Our church is indeed blessed by the many women who make personal sacrifices to serve our congregation and its members. We also invite women not members of our organization to volunteer to help on the various committees. You can become one of these volunteers by contacting one of the LA/LWML officers listed below.
