Zion United Methodist Church invites the community to its cherished tradition, the Old-Fashioned Hymn Sing, on Sunday, August 31, at 5:00 p.m.

Since 1993, this Labor Day Weekend gathering has brought together Door County residents and visitors to sing beloved hymns and raise money in support of community needs. This year, all proceeds will benefit Doorway to Learning, a child care facility in Sturgeon Bay.

According to Doorway to Learning, “Child care is not a luxury. It’s a necessity—for our families, our economy, and the very fabric of our community…because they care for the children of the people who care for us all.”

They serve infants and children from four weeks to four years old—supporting the parents who keep our community strong: nurses who care for patients, teachers who guide the next generation, hospitality staff who support our local economy, and grocery clerks who keep our families supplied.

“The Zion Mission Committee could not think of a finer way to help our neighbors,” organizers shared. “We are grateful that friends from other churches join us in this joyous evening of singing and giving.”

The Hymn Sing will be led by Pastors Don Heeringa and Frank Maxwell, with music provided by keyboardist Caroline Polster, who will accompany the crowd as participants call out their favorite hymn numbers. Midway through the evening, a freewill offering will be collected, with the total donation announced at the conclusion of the event. Refreshments and fellowship will follow.

The Sing-Along is free and open to the public.

Zion United Methodist Church is located at 8781 County Highway F, between Fish Creek and Baileys Harbor.
