| Zion Lutheran Appreciates Local Firefighters!
The members of Zion Lutheran Church, Poplar Bluff showed their appreciation to their local firefighters! Over the course of three days in June, three groups of members assembled and delivered treats (pastries, candies, and fruit) and "Armor of God" medallions (based on Ephesians 6:11-18) to 27 Poplar Bluff city and seven Butler County Firefighters. Those participating had a great time and the firefighters were very appreciative. This event was organized by the congregation's Faith In Action (FIA) group, dedicated to putting their faith into action inside and outside the congregation through various mission projects and acts of mercy.
