Memorial Service for William "Bill" J. Haar This Saturday

Please join the Haar family to celebrate Bill's life on Saturday, July 17th at 4:00 p.m. at Zion. We will begin with a hymn sing of some of Bill's favorites at 3:45 p.m. A time for fellowship will follow in Katie Luther Chapel. The service will also be shared on our Facebook page (just as we do on Sunday mornings) for those who cannot attend in person.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to the Bill Haar Memorial Fund (which can be accessed through our online giving form). Contributions will be divided among Zion's music, education, and capital improvement funds. Thank you to those who have already given generously in Bill's memory.

The synod's Just Love Team invites you to join an end of summer six-week book discussion on Black Fatigue: How Racism Erodes the Mind, Body, and Spirit by Mary-Frances Winters. Winters has a distinguished history of helping organizations of all kinds address diversity, equity, and inclusion. Black fatigue is about how history, policy, practices, and unaddressed disparities generate cycles of weariness and stress that take a heavy toll on people.

The online sessions will run from August 4th through September 8th on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 pm via Zoom. A special Facebook group will also be created on the synod page for ongoing discussion. The Zoom format will include a brief presentation on the weekly reading, breakout groups in chat rooms, and a plenary sharing session.

The book can be purchased at Amazon or any bookseller. Registration is required by August 3rd. To register, click here.
