Welcome to Wayne Zion’s Youth Ministry!
Congratulations to our second group of 2024 Confirmands! This year we transitioned from holding Confirmation Sunday in the Spring to Fall. Moving forward it will be scheduled on Reformation Sunday.
This past summer’s Community Vacation Bible School was held Monday, July 29th through Friday, August 2nd at the Youth Development Center in Monticello. Thank you to the Ministerial Association churches, and all the volunteers who helped make this week a success.
