Report Card Sunday, Congratulations to All Zion Students!


Zion Baptist Church is hosting Report Card Sunday, June 11, immediately after service.


All parents, please bring your child's report card to Zion (up to 8th grade), regardless of their academic performance. Even if your child has no A's and no B's...bring it and show it to Pastor Beckham to receive a special treat!

 

At Zion, we want to pray for, honor, and applaud our students' efforts and achievements. We believe in supporting and uplifting our students in every way possible.  We celebrate you and your child!

Juneteenth Celebration at Zion


Juneteenth is now a Federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States in 1865.


As with the celebration of Black History Month in February, we often recognize Blacks for their accomplishments during slavery and post-slavery until the present day.


The purpose of the Juneteenth Celebration at Zion Baptist Church this year is for every Sunday during the month of June to show the extent to which Africans and the African continent are a part of the biblical story!


Christianity has deep roots in African soil. You will be awakened to the extent to which the African presence is in God’s story.


PowerPoint, Q and A time, and discussion will be on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. in June, along with presentations on Sundays in June.

Girls and parents ages 12 and up are welcome to attend. This event will provide an opportunity to paint pre-drawn, color-coded canvases & ceiling tiles for gifts to hospitals within the United States. 


We will meet at the studio in Woodstock at 9:45 a.m. Our session is from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm. Volunteers may sign up via Realm. The deadline to sign up is Friday, June 23rd. You can find the registration link below.
