Week Eight and ELC Harvest Party

Calling Drew’s Avengers! 

Our offerings this year are going to Friends of Kids with Cancer.  

On Wednesday, October 25 we will be having a special offering.  

In honor of Drew Albrittons’ 8th birthday, we will be collecting superhero items and all donations will be delivered to Friends of Kids with Cancer.

Drew was a preschooler here at Zion who bravely fought cancer and now is with the biggest superhero of all, Jesus! 

Please bring your superhero items to chapel on Wednesday, October 25.

Action figures, costumes, toys, movies, backpacks, Lego sets, video games, shirts, or any items with a super hero theme are all welcome.

This week we began doing a few reading activities simultaneously, and then rotating. These Kinders did a great job!
