We are blessed to have the opportunity to share Jesus with those who need Him. On Wednesday, we collected 292 Superhero toys in memory of our friend, Drew Albritton. The superhero items will be given to Friends of Kids with Cancer, a local organization, and will GO to kids in treatment for cancer. Thank you Zion students for GOing and getting superhero toys that will share Jesus!

Thanksgiving Food Drive
Wednesday, November 14th is our school Thanksgiving Food Drive. In the month of November we support the Seminarian Food Bank. Seminarians are men studying to be pastors. We provide 20 Thanksgiving meals to Seminarian Families unable to go home for Thanksgiving.
The Student Council has assigned a food item to each grade.
First grade should bring: Stuffing & Boxed Potatoes (mashed, sweet, slices, etc.)
Thank you for helping to provide Thanksgiving dinners to 20 seminarians. Our offerings for the month of November will go to buy the turkeys. What a great way to help support those who spread the Good News. You may sent food in anytime between now and November 14.

We learned about Martin Luther this week.
He was such a brave man to stand up to the church and say what they were doing and teaching was wrong. Martin was teaching straight from the Bible about God's love and forgiveness and we remember him and the Reformation on October 31st! We each made a book about his life.
