We featured our Lego Nativity in one of our weekly YouTube videos:

Mission Trip 2013
This year the Mission Trip included a Blitz Build through Habitat for Humanity. We started with a concrete slab; in one week we raised the walls and roof; we also installed the plumbing and windows.
O Lego Town of Bethlehem
This year the Lego Nativity scene was back…Bigger than ever, complete with 21 different animals, the nativity scene totally captured the attention of countless children this Christmas. What a creative way to tell the story of Jesus’ birth!
Mission Trip 2012
In 2012, we traveled with 67 Lebanon County Lutherans (from 8 churches) and worked on home construction in West Virginia. Simply put: Almost Heaven!

Here is the Summer 2012 Lego Club project
Mission Trip 2011
Local Missions Trip – 2011 on Prezi
In 2011, we continued our tradition of staying local (in 2012 we definitely hit the road though!). We discovered the tremendous need in our local community as well as the ways in which God empowers us to serve.

2010: The beginnings
Here is the 2010 version of the Lego Bethlehem. This was the beginning of the lego project.
Eric Schulden pioneered the craft.
Youth
The youth of Zion’s play an active role in the life of the congregation. Many are involved in worship, whether singing or reading.
We also gather once a month for our “Wave” meeting, a time for devotions, discussion and fun.
Each summer our Youth Group has taken a “Mission” trip where we serve others. Two summers ago we headed to West Virginia to do Habitat for Humanity work. Last summer, joined by four youth from Germany, we stayed locally, serving in nursing homes and day cares. Each night we camped out at Camp Kirchenwald.
We also offer a Youth Sunday School class on Sunday mornings as well as various fun events throughout the year. You can see some of our youth in action in the videos we make periodically.
Mission Trip 2010: Camp Kirchenwald
In 2010, we stayed local, serving a variety of ministries within 45 minutes of our homes. We discovered many ways to reach out and connect with others. One of our projects involved cooking meals for families with loved ones having medical procedures done at Hershey Hospital.
What also “spiced” up the trip was our four German youth visitors. We hope to continue this bridge of friendship and have more German youth come this summer.
Mission Trip 2009: West Virginia
In 2009, the youth from our church traveled to West Virginia to work on Habitat for Humanity. We worked with kids from five other churches to lay foundation.
