Open Your Eyes and See God at Work!

This past Sunday, we had a very busy hour from Noon to 1:00 p.m. We extended God's grace with over 40 communion kits distributed for family, friends, and neighbors. We blessed almost 30 teachers and students with the reminder to "Trust God" this year - with more blessings to come for the Preschool this week.

And, let me tell you: personal invitations work. Every student (or student's family) to whom I extended a personal invitation showed up on Sunday for a blessing. How else can we share the Gospel of Jesus Christ if we don't first offer the invitation to "come and see"?

Below, you'll read about two different reactions to Sunday's events. I'm grateful to the families for giving me permission to tell the stories. God is at work...even and especially in our youngest and most precious!

Be Blessed This Week!
Cantor Kurt R. Schmidt
Ben (age 9) and his family came to receive communion on Sunday. Ann (grandma), Bev (mom), Jake (older brother), and Ben celebrated Holy Communion in their car. Ben received the wafer, bit into it, and said "I think these are better with the wine!" (We agree, Ben!)
After receiving their "Trust God" stickers on Sunday, Jordan (age 6) and Lena (age 4) shared them with their best friends and invited them to join their "secret God club." (Don't worry, we are sending Jordan and Lena more stickers to share!)

"God's Work, Our Hands" is coming, and we are being called to serve where we are. If you're unable to physically serve, please pray for those who can. We need all the prayers we can muster!
Zion's Get Out the Vote team are calling Zion’s members and friends to encourage people to be registered to vote and to vote in the upcoming election, whether by early voting, mail-in ballot, or at the polling place. They will also be available to help with questions that may arise.

Zion will also have an event tent on our property on Saturday, September 19th and Sunday, September 20th, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. (both days) at the intersection of SE 10th Street and SE 6th Avenue. Volunteers will be available for outreach into the community to help with voter registration and to encourage voting.
