Our call is to look more like Jesus.
One way to do this is to learn more about God in community with others. Please consider the following groups, classes, and events that ZPC is offering.
Adults
ZPC Home Groups are the most effective way to build relationships through discussing and applying the sermon scripture, and praying and serving together.
Our groups meet for three sessions each year. [Sept 10-Nov 12; Jan 14-March 17; April 7-May 19].

This is an in-depth study focused on the opening moments of Mark’s Gospel. We will give thoughtful attention to John’s ministry; Jesus’ baptism and temptation; his calling his first disciples; and those moments characteristic of his ministry, including a rising conflict with the religious leaders.
We will encourage a mix of time for personal study and time for interactive sharing. We’ll use The Great Opening, Volume 1, a working resource written by Stan.
Cost is $25 and will include food and child care, and The Great Opening, Volume 1.

We sew warm quilts for the women of Horizon House and other organizations that serve the homeless. We also knit warm hats to go with each quilt, and prayer shawls for anyone going through a difficult time. Recently, some of the women have made dresses for children in Haiti. We share our lives and prayer concerns during a devotional time at the end of each gathering.

THINKING BIBLICALLY | SUNDAYS | 9-10 AM | ROOM 206
Genesis 1-11 - Primeval History
The intent of this class is to return, biblically and theologically, to those beginning moments, which are so foundational to our faith; and to return to those fundamental questions: who? when? where? why? and how? and how they shape our understanding of Genesis 1-11.
These eleven chapters lift the veil shrouding a world before our own, the world before Abraham. In doing so - centering upon Adam and Eve, Noah, and the Tower of Babel - they reveal three moments of a progressive fall, a further plunging into darkness and disorder, and yet throughout, Yahweh Elohim, the Lord God, remains faithful to his creation.
