November Zion Book Club News
The book club, which will meet Tuesday, November 12, will be reading “The Nightingale,” by Kristin Hannah. Hostess will be Meredith Richardson; her phone number is 775-7485.
Zion Lunch Bunch
Lunch Bunch will be meeting Thursday, November 21st at 12:30 at Firehouse 115. There is a menu and a sign up sheet on the bulletin for anyone interested in attending. This month’s hostess is Joan Higgins.
Thanksgiving Cards
This Thanksgiving, the Evangelism Committee invites you to reach out to those who are homebound as well as members who have moved away. Thanksgiving cards, names, and addresses are available on the table outside the sanctuary. Just stop by the display, choose a couple, add a short note if you so choose, and send them on their way. Thank you for helping us encourage others by making sure they know they are remembered by their Zion family.
Name Tags
New members have mentioned that they wish they could call more people by name at Zion. Help us grow in becoming a more welcoming, inclusive community by wearing your name tag. You are welcome to wear it every Sunday, but we are targeting the last Sunday of each month as name tag Sunday. Please look for your name tag in the boxes under the stairs to the balcony, and wear it on Sunday, November 24.
Card Shower
Virginia Wicklund is having a milestone birthday on November 24. Help her celebrate by sending a card directly to her home (call the church office for the address) or by bringing a card to church the week of November 17-22 and leaving it in the collection basket. We will make sure those are delivered in time for her special day. We hope you will help shower Virginia with caring and cards as she begins her 99th year.
November 26 - Annual Service of Thanksgiving and Pie Social
We will gather at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 26 to give thanks to God for our many blessings. After the service, stay for a time of fellowship. Bring your favorite pie to share, and then share the favorites of others. Even if you can't bring a pie, join us for this delicious get together. To save time, the Fellowship Committee is asking if at all possible to precut your pie at home. Also, keep in mind Zion’s “no nut” policy when deciding on a favorite pie to bring to share.
Snow Removal
Yes, it is coming and no one really wants to think about it. The Property Committee is being proactive by putting snow removal teams together and are in need of at least one more volunteer. Please contact George Cochrane or Greg Anderson if you could help or would like more information.
Meal Help Needed
Might you be able to help with meals for Youth Group meetings this year? Help is needed to cook, serve, and clean up an evening meal each time a group meets. This is a great way to serve your church and connect with our youth! Volunteers will have the choice of having something purchased for them and ready at church that will just need to be warmed up or cooking something of their choice and being reimbursed for expenses. We are still in need of a meal volunteer for Nov 6, Nov 10, Nov 20, and Dec 4, Dec 4. If you can help, let Val know or sign up through the church website. (cadillaczion.org)

Our Christmas Eve Worship Services are always enhanced by beautiful Poinsettias which you may order through the church office. You may take your plant home following our last Christmas Eve Service. The plants cost $7.00 each. Order forms are available on the table outside the sanctuary. The due date to have orders into the church office is December 1.

This devotional is available in both regular-print and large-print editions. Pick up a copy of the October through December issue for yourself and a friend or neighbor as well.
