Sort-Rip-Cut-Design-Sew-Iron-Tie-Knit-Crochet-Pray-Eat-Repeat!
That’s what the ladies of Loose Threads do to help make a difference in our community. You are invited to help as we make quilts for the homeless and knitted or crocheted prayer shawls for the sick. Come for an hour or two or three! The group is always accepting cast offs of 100% wool clothing or blankets, bolts of solid color fleece, skeins of soft yarn, and cash donations.
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.

Men
Who are ZPCMen? It’s simple. Are you a guy that attends ZPC? Then you are a member of ZPCMen. ZPCMen take the mission of our church seriously and look for ways to be disciples who make other disciples. Some of the ways we do this are by connecting with other ZPCMen, seeking to build healthier relationships with family and friends, deepening our intimacy with God, and discovering how we can live out our unique design to the fullest.
