Celebrating 175 Years

Zion Mennonite Church Anniversary Weekend

Join us as we celebrate 175 years of worship, faith, fellowship, and community in Donnellson, Iowa.

We look forward to gathering with friends, family, former members, and neighbors for a special weekend together.

September 26–27, 2026

Historical tours, a presentation, potluck supper, fellowship, worship service, lunch, and hymn sing — all centered around remembering God’s faithfulness through 175 years of Zion Mennonite Church.

Welcome

Trusting in God’s hope for our future, Zion Mennonite Church continues to gather in worship, nurture faith across generations, and serve others in love.

A Weekend to Remember

Zion Mennonite Church is located at the corner of Fruit and Park Streets in Donnellson, Iowa. For 175 years, this congregation has gathered to worship together, encourage one another in faith, and serve both the local community and the wider world.

This anniversary weekend is a chance to reconnect, remember, and celebrate the people, stories, and shared history that have shaped Zion through the generations.

Whether you are a longtime member, a former attendee, a family member, or simply a friend of Zion, we would be glad to welcome you.
