The Restoration Continues
Last week, our trusted painter Gordon began work on the last part of sanding and staining the interior wood, up by the clerestory windows — 30 feet in the air! He was also super helpful in bringing down our nonfunctional projector, and we sent it off for repair. Thank you, Gordon!

God's Blessings to Hunter!
Congratulations and God’s blessings to Hunter Bender Fromme (and his mom, Desiree, and their family) on the occasion of his baptism on Sunday! Given Hunter’s joyful spirit and inquisitive mind, we know he will continue to shine his light brighter as he grows in faith and love for God and his neighbor.

We are asking, together with Shayne, for contributions toward a matching grant of $500 from Zion’s scholarship fund and $500 from LSM. To contribute, mark an envelope on Sunday morning “Shayne” and leave it in the offering plate, or give to the Peth Scholarship Fund on Zion’s online giving form.

Fourth Sunday in Lent
The fourth of the Old Testament promises providing a baptismal lens this Lent is the promise God makes to Moses: those who look on the bronze serpent will live. In today’s gospel Jesus says he will be lifted up on the cross like the serpent, so that those who look to him in faith will live. When we receive the sign of the cross in baptism, that cross becomes the sign we can look to in faith for healing, for restored relationship to God, and for hope.
Sunday's bulletin can be found on the homepage of our website.
