OPPORTUNTIES TO SERVE

SHARE+FEED+ RELIEVE
December 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026 Goal of $4500

Since 2015, the congregation of Zion Lutheran Church has shown up in big ways for our community and for our world with our annual SHARE. FEED. RELIEVE. campaign. Through your generosity, almost $100,000 have been raised and distributed to local, national, and international organizations that help SHARE the faith, FEED those in need, and RELIEVE the suffering of our neighbors both here and abroad.

This year, from December 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026, this special offering provides an opportunity to be a blessing again, since God has so richly blessed us. We pray that everyone will be called to donated whatever amount they’re comfortable with – over and above your regular giving. No amount is too small! Begin by praying to God for guidance in how you can contribute to this special offering.

Every dollar given will go directly to our three beneficiaries for 2025/2026: SHARE your gifts with our partners in ministry in Liberia, West Africa for help with Rev. Dr. Samuel Payne’s continued restoration work of Esther Bacon Lutheran Church in Gorlu and the Gorlu Public School. FEED our childcare students here at Zion. Due to the rising food costs our childcare needs help with providing the three meals and snacks for 120 children throughout the school year. RELIEVE the financial burden on the charity Northern Nurses Without Borders, a group of nursing, pharmacy, and other allied health students, faculty, and ONU alumni who plan and implement a medical mission trip in the Dominican Republic every May. This group spends months collecting donations including medical and hygiene supplies, education material, and general donations. Each year, care and donated supplies as well as health education are provided to over 500 Dominican and Haitian people.

ZION GIVES BACK. Thank you for your generosity during this Holiday Season!
