Zion United Methodist to Host Annual Hymn Sings

Zion United Methodist Church will hold the first of its two annual hymn sings at 5 pm on July 10. Begun in 1993 at the little country church that is now 141 years old, the activity features old-time hymns picked by the audience. The Rev. Don Heeringa, a former Zion pastor, will serve as song leader, accompanied by Joan Vahey. The entire community is invited to attend. Past hymn sings have attracted as many as 146 people from 13 different religious denominations.

The freewill offering will benefit DOOR CANcer, a 20-year-old, locally run and operated cancer charity. Donations go to cancer patients, not to administration.

Since 2002, Zion’s Hymn Sings have raised nearly $26,000 for agencies that benefit people in Door County. Refreshments will be served. Zion United Methodist Church is located at 8781 County F, between Baileys Harbor and Fish Creek.
