Zion’s Safe Church Team is pleased to present ZMC’s Child and Youth Protection policy, shortened copies of which were given in your church mailboxes. Full copies are available on the back table in the foyer and on the Zion website. The Safe Church Team and the Congregational Leadership Team are seeking congregational approval of the policy at the Fall business meeting and we welcome your questions about the policy and next steps.
You are invited to enjoy a light lunch provided by the Safe Church Team on August 11 following the worship service. Come to hear a story of our Safe Church journey at Zion, a brief overview of the policy, and to learn how simple it is to become an approved adult. Please sign up on the bulletin board or rsvp to Karla Souder by Thursday August 8 so we know how much food to prepare.
Thanks for considering joining us.
The Safe Church Team: Paul Leaman, Karla Souder,
Jesse Compagnari, Gen Moyer-Groff and Pastor Sarah
