PRAYER GROUPS AT ZION

Email Prayer Chain is one of the ways Zion keeps in touch with each other to form a prayer strength for those who request prayers, and for those whose present struggle brings renewed strength and comfort for them. Contact:  zionprayers@cs.com

Telephone Prayer Chain is another way to be part of the wonderful ministry of pray. Please contact Jeanne Hunter at 939-3350, and she will be happy to add your name.
