On Sunday 6/28 we welcome Faith in Place to our adult faith forum at 10:40am in the Upper Room.

Come to the forum to hear about:
• Current funding opportunities available through Faith in Place for Houses of Worship and community-based organizations, including how to apply
• Upcoming free online events, such as Faith in Place’s Annual Environment & Spirituality Summit
• Focus on Energy’s residential programs—including free energy packs and rebate opportunities—to help reduce your members’ energy costs

👉 Come to Mt Zion on Saturday 6/20 9am-4pm to shop all the amazing deals 💲 at the Blake Parker Rummage Sale! 👈
🩷💛 Blake's family is celebrating his miraculous 2️⃣6️⃣th birthday with a rummage sale to help raise funds for his ongoing medical expenses. 🩷💛 Blake was born with a congenital heart defect and received a heart transplant ❤️‍🩹 at age 12 (the orange hat photo below was taken shortly after the surgery) and a prognosis for a short life.
🩷💛 However, he has overcome that prediction and celebrated his 26th birthday last week (shown in the other 2 photos with some of his birthday gifts, including a t-shirt from his favorite singer, Jelly Roll!). 🩷💛 He has had a lot of medical issues throughout his life, most recently a diagnosis of an inoperable aortic aneurysm and impending kidney failure, so the bills are piling up, but his parents Kelly and Jeff have done an amazing job ❤️ of giving him joy and finding happiness in life.
🎉 Happy birthday, Blake! 🎉

On this Pride month, we are proud to be celebrating our 20th anniversary as a Reconciling in Christ congregation! Twenty years ago, we made the decision to publicly profess our welcome and acceptance of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters in Christ by joining the then-small list of RIC congregations recognized by ReconcilingWorks. At the time, there were only a handful of RIC congregations anywhere in Wisconsin, but now we're happy to report about 100 ELCA congregations in the state are RIC, including our partner churches Mt Carmel, Martin Luther, and Reformation!
