At A Glance –
Driveway Paving is Completed!! The broad, smooth ribbon of asphalt looks beautiful. Thank you to the Vestry and especially Sr. Warden Niall Cain and Treasurer Brian Crowley for keeping us on point for this much needed improvement.
Zion has Angels: Zion is participating in the Angel Project which is sponsored by NY State Assembly Member Andrea Stewart-Cousins office. The purpose is to support caregivers by remembering them with a gift. The recipients provide a small wish list which contains a few modestly priced items they would like to receive. The members of Zion will be angels for a caregiver this holiday season. Special thanks go to Laura Crowley for leading this effort.

Walk through the liturgical year, the sacraments of the church, habits of daily prayer, and the teachings of Anglican Christianity.

With the help of Zion Crafters Guild member Brenda Horrell, 21 knit and crochet hats were delivered to Phelps Memorial Hospital in Sleepy Hollow. Eight more Prayer Shawls/Lap Robes were delivered as.
