MINISTRIES & ACTIVITIES FOR YOUTH
We welcome all youth from 7th grade to 12th grade to join us in pursuing how God is living within us, guiding us, and gracing us with God's *outrageous love.* Throughout each year, we take part in a variety of activities, organized around fun, Word, and service:
FUN: Join us in monthly fun activities that build connections with our peers from all parts of the Salt Lake Valley.
WORD: Join us on Sundays at 9:15am during Education Hour as we dive deeper into the Word. During this time, Faith Formation Disciples (7th-9th graders) meet to explore the Old Testament, New Testament, and Luther 101 before they make the Affirmation of Baptism (Confirmation). Also during this time, Senior High Disciples meet in the Youth Room to engage in what it means to be a Christian in today's world.
SERVICE: Join us as we walk alongside those in our community that may need a little extra help. Throughout the year, we participate in various activities and service projects. Our youth also serve in worship by acolyting or reading at least 6 times a year.
For more information about any youth activities, contact Lisa Mensinger, our Director of Youth Ministry.

Souper Bowl of Caring
Each year, youth from Zion and other community churches participate in the Souper Bowl of Caring. This is a weekend retreat that includes a fun lock-in and a service project. The same weekend, our youth also lead worship at the 10:30am service on Sunday!
In 2018, we celebrated with a focus on the Seize the Awkward where we talked about our mental health. The youth of Zion and other Lutheran churches served the community over the weekend, and shared their experiences in worship on Sunday. In Sunday's worship, we also heard music from our youth praise band, ZY Jam, and our Orff musicians, Joyful NOIZ.
