Mission Statement

As a community of women
Created in the image of God,

Called to discipleship in Jesus Christ,
And empowered by the Holy Spirit.   

We commit ourselves to grow in faith,

Affirm our gifts,
Support one another in our callings,

Engage in ministry and action,
And promote healing and wholeness
In the church, in society and the world.

Circles:  Six circles meet on the 3^rd week of each month for the purposes of:

                                                   Bible Study             Fellowship            Business

These circles are as follows:

Lesson Leaders:  Each month’s Bible Study leaders meet on the 2^nd Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. for an overview of the lesson with Gaye Scott.

General Meetings:  Most months include a general meeting with special programs and refreshments on the 1^st Thursday at 1:30 p.m.  These programs are open to all people, men and women.

Offerings are taken at Circle Meetings and General Meetings and go to support the Synod Women of the ELCA as well as our own women’s projects and gifts to other non-profit organizations.  Our women have purchased coffee for use by anyone in the church, as well as tables, dishes, remodeling in the kitchen and fellowship hall, etc.

Do Days – Each Wednesday any woman is welcome to join the quilters in the Fellowship Hall, who annually make hundreds of quilts for Lutheran World Relief and other needs.  We sponsor an annual Blanket Sunday and Soap Sunday.  In addition, the women (and others) are encouraged to make Kits for LWR.

Service – Zion Women have a long history of service.  Some examples include:

• Serving funeral lunches
• Serving an Advent Supper and a Lenten Supper
• Providing service or refreshments at the General Meetings and meetings of the Executive Board
• Providing cookies and bingo prizes for Good Shepherd in Mason City
• Maintaining a supply of cards and napkins for sale
• Provide programs and refreshments for Oakwood Care Center
