MISSION ENCOUNTER SUNDAY--APRIL 20, 2008--In less than a month, Zion will hold its sixth Mission Encounter Sunday.  Many groups will once again be represented by people who love working for the Lord.  Some of these faces will be familiar, some may not be as recognizable, but all have that "glow" that comes from using their hearts and hands to build up the Kingdom.  We encourage each person to find a mission that excites you and makes you want to be a part of it.  So COME, WORSHIP, LEARN, EAT, and GO OUT into our world and minister.  Be a Pray-er, Play-er, or Pay-er.
