At A Glance –
THANK YOU TO OUR ANONYMOUS WEEDERS! I am very grateful and our gardens are too! There are plenty more weeds to pull, enough for everyone to get in on the act. - Mo. Mary
Sat. Aug. 18th Zion Crafter’s Guild Meeting 12:00 pm – 2:30 pm Parish Hall
If you know of a person who is dealing with an illness or injury and would be supported by receiving a handmade Prayer Shawl or Lap Robe, please let Mo. Mary know.
SCHOOL KITS Mission begins: 08/19 – Ingathering 09/23
Please take a tab or two from the mission poster in the Parish Hall, and add the items to the collection bins.
Zion Church is undertaking a mission project this fall – School Kits! The Church World Service (CWS), a Nonprofit, service organization made up of 37 denominational churches (including The Episcopal Church), will be distributing the kits in places of need around the world – from poor villages to refugee camps.
**We are starting this mission endeavor several weeks before Labor Day to take advantage of the great Labor Day Back-to-School sales, especially at Staples.
Our Mission Goal is 50 School Kits. Let’s do some good together!

MISSION MATTERS:
DOBBS FERRY FOOD PANTRY: Four NEW items for the Shopping List
In many places donations to the Food Pantry goes down during the summer months. However, the need does not diminish during the summer. Please remember those who need the help of the Dobbs Ferry Food Pantry.
Peanut Butter (chunky or smooth)
Spaghetti
Spaghetti Sauce
Tuna Fish (oil or water packed)
Please pick up a few of these items when you next go to the supermarket for the Dobbs Ferry Food Pantry – the pantry collection boxes are located in the Parish Hall vestibule.
If you would like to know more about this much needed ministry, please speak to Carol Seischab or Mo. Mary.
THE HILLTOP THRIFT SHOP: CLOSED FOR SUMMER BREAK
The Thrift Shop will be closed all of August and half of September. Most items not sold in July will be donated to local charities and social service providers, and the faithful volunteers need a well-deserved break. This would be a great time to volunteer at The Thrift Shop, helping to restock and learning the ropes in a quieter time. Please speak to Barbara, Lesley or Gordon about volunteering.
ZION CRAFTERS GUILD - Prayer Shawl Ministry
Meets on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month, 12:00pm – 2:00 pm in the Parish Hall. Our Prayer Shawls will be sent to the Volunteer Program at Phelps Memorial Hospital. If you would like to make a yarn donation, please see Mo. Mary.
Please join the Zion Crafters Guild - you don’t need to know how to knit or crochet, just be willing to learn! Membership is open and free to all.
EVERY BLESSED BEAD: Check out our Etsy Shop – Every Blessed Bead – for the perfect gift! Remember, all the money raised through Every Blessed Bead is used for Mission and Outreach. Please share your mission ideas via the GO ZION! Book (in the Parish Hall vestibule) or speak to Mo. Mary.
EYEGLASSES FOR SAVING SIGHT - The Eyeglass Collection Box will remain on the Parish Hall vestibule table if you, or your friends, still have eyeglasses to donate. We will send the eyeglasses to Saving Sight, via The Westchester Pride Lions Club in white Plains, periodically, when we have a box full. Please bring in your used glasses for we can send them off to do some good.
