April 16, 2022 – The Mt. Zion United Methodist Church will be initiating “Love Your Neighbor” for residents who live in the Mt. Zion School District. Church members will be showing God’s Love by performing various services for free on Friday, April 29th, and Saturday, April 30th. “We wish to help others by inspiring joy and hope,” says Pastor Rob Roy.
Services include light yard work, replacing batteries in smoke alarms, blood pressure checks, delivery of food trays to our local police, sheriff, fire, library and others, delivery of 67 homemade cards to residents at Heritage Health, providing change and laundry detergent at Pride Cleaners & Launderers, and a continued collection of new socks for the homeless.
To make “Love Your Neighbor” a success, they need the community to sign up for these Free services:
1. Light Yard Work (blowing/raking leaves & debris pick up) – Saturday, April 29 between the hours of 9:00 – Noon.
2. Replace the batteries in your smoke alarms in your home – Saturday, April 29 from 9:00 – Noon.
3. Free blood pressure checks at Kenney’s Ace Hardware on Saturday, April 29 from 9:00 – Noon. (No need to pre-register)
