Lisa has volunteered to deliver these to the Red Cross tomorrow if we'll bring them tonight to circle. (even if you can't make it to circle you can drop them by the educational building tonight at 6:30)

Here's the list:

bottled water
size 3 diapers
baby wipes
books & magazines
new towels and washcloths

I think this will be a great way to help out. We didn't get any evacuees here at Zion, so we can help out others in a super easy way. Thanks Lisa!!!!!!!

See you there!

God beside you for a day...

One of the prayer class assignments was to live as if God is literally right beside you for one whole day. I'm trying it today and I really think that I am a better person today. I like that. If you feel so inclined, try it out! (I'm embarassed at how I should have done this way sooner...my daily actions and words needed this assignment!)
