Mt. Zion United Methodist Church

Lent is traditionally understood as a time of self denial and sacrifice, as we give up something that we value and enjoy so that we are better able to give to worthy causes and to those in need.. During the five Sundays of Lent, the people of Mt. Zion UMC will have the opportunity to make a special gift to a number of different missions.

This Sunday’s special designated offering will go to United Methodist Family Services, a ministry to children at risk. Please review carefully the information enclosed in this Sunday’s bulletin; and, as you see fit, please write your check to Mt. Zion UMC, putting the initials UMFS on the memo line.

Throughout Lent, we will also collect food for the Caring Hearts Food Pantry, a 24 / 7 provider of food located on Route 230 and operated by the local Mennonite church. Several boxes will be provided to hold the donations; and the food will be delivered to the food pantry on a weekly basis. Thank you for reaching out during this special time of the Christian year.
