Arts and crafts for Jesus? Yes, please!
Let's Make Alleluia Banners!
THIS SUNDAY
February 13, 2022
Following Worship
in Katie Luther Chapel
plus Coffee Fellowship

During the season of Lent, it is tradition to "put away" the word Alleluia, first to honor the penitential nature of the 40 Days, and second to heighten the anticipation of the first Alleluia we hear on Easter Sunday.

Join us after worship in Katie Luther Chapel as we decorate Alleluia banners to be "buried" after worship on Transfiguration Sunday only to reappear at the celebration of the Resurrection.

All ages are welcome! All levels of artistic talent are welcome!
Updates for This Week

  • As a Zion community, we continue to grieve the passing of Pastor Fred Auman, who claimed his baptismal promise last Friday night. To read our special e-news, click here.
  • We are still looking for volunteers to help at Pioneer Days (February 19th and 20th). If you are interested in volunteering, please reply to this e-mail and let me know.
  • Our next monthly Congregation Council meeting will be held after worship on Sunday, February 27th. All members are invited and encouraged to attend.
  • Special thanks to two individuals who I neglected to thank for their leadership on Sunday. First, to Sandy V. for reading the lessons, and to Justin Strassman who continues to volunteer his guitar playing skills to help lead us in song. Both Sandy and Justin attend faithfully and, I pray, will consider joining us officially. Just goes to show those looking in: anyone can volunteer at Zion and all God's gifts are welcome!

I was very encouraged (and I hope you were, too) by the increase last Sunday in those attending worship in person. Everyone was well spaced and, I hope, felt safe. There is still more room in the sanctuary! Claim your sabbath, and make community worship an essential part of it.

See you on Sunday!
