Women's Fellowship

A forum for women to meet and grow in their Christian beliefs.

WELCA (Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America)

The WELCA groups consist of three circles:  Dorcus, Esther, and Martha. Each circle meets at different times and days for fellowship, food, Bible study, prayer concerns, and discussion of circle business. The Women of the ELCA are committed to spiritual growth, supporting one another, engaging in ministry and action, and promoting healing and wholeness in the church, society, and the world.

Men's Fellowship

Men are are invited to the 7:00 am Thursday breakfast Bible Study at the Lakeside Chalet restaurant on Everett Road in Camas. A group of 12-20 men meet each Thursday for great fellowship, study, prayer and even a little good natured kidding. Come join the fun! We are planning some activities for our men's ministry that will involve those who cannot meet early on Thursdays.

JOY (Just Older Youth)

The JOY group is an eclectic fun-loving collection of people of retirement age. We welcome and encourage you to join this wonderful fellowship opportunity. They meet every other  month for a different adventure, such as scenic walks, plays, visiting museums as well as dining together. Check back for details of JOY Group trips coming up!

The Zion Quilters

We at Zion are truly blessed to have such an amazing group of people who are talented and dedicated to making beautiful quilts for people in need. The quilts are donated to organizations such as Lutheran World Relief, Open House Ministries, and Share House. Some quilts are given to comfort families who have lost everything due to a fire or disaster. Lap robes are also made for people who may spend a lot of time sitting. All are invited, women and men. We meet each Monday from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. If you can tie a knot or sew, you could be a part of this exciting ministry.

Thursday Morning Bible Study

A lively Bible study, led by the Pastor, is held in the Social Hall on Thursday mornings at 10:00 am. Lots of discussion is always the order of the day and topics are as varied as the book of Revelations, World Religions, Old Testament prophets, Psalms, prayer and parables. The sessions are geared to all levels of Bible background, so feel free to just come and listen, ask questions, or share in the interactive commentary. Besides there is always plenty of Lutheran libations - coffee and goodies!
 

Choir

All are welcome to make joyful music in the adult choir.  Practice is on Wednesday evenings. Contact Janice Lord at 834-4201 for more information.
