Dish and laundry soap, toilet paper, and toothpaste. Please place your donations in the mission container in the Narthex. Thank you for your support! It really does make a difference.

Surgery is set for June 29 for Pastor Aaron Hello all. Thank you for all of the support, help, comments, prayers, and concern that have been part of my daily experience here at Zion. It has been most appreciated! I thought it might be good to outline what will be happening for the next 2 to 4 weeks. My surgery is June 29 th, and my family and I leave for it on June 27 th. They expect that I will be in the hospital 4 days after the surgery and then will be released to the Rochester area for 2 to 4 weeks thereafter. During that time there are daily blood draws and labs and they are constantly making medication adjustments. I m not sure exactly how long I will be gone. During the time away we will be staying at a place called The Transplant House, which is a house in Rochester where people undergoing transplants are able to stay. During that time however both Lindy and I will be chronicling the journey. We have a CaringBridge page set up Lindy named it Kidneys are Cool! (I think they are most cool if they are working it s a bit of a bummer if they aren t working) and if you search for my name on www.caringbridge.org it will allow you to see what we post. We will be sharing this too on Facebook, and will be letting the church office know how things are going. Genuinely, I m not sure what the road ahead involves, but even this seems blessed, and so we wait on whatever happens. Please keep my family, as well as my brother s family, in your prayers. Blessings to you! Pastor Aaron, Lindy, Gabe, Andrew and Emma
