Lenten Schedule


Stained Glass Windows - During the month of December, Zion received two stained glass windows given in memory of Gilbert Rosenberg whose funeral service were held in October of 2008. One window depicts the baptism of Jesus and the second window is a depiction of the three crosses of Good Friday. The two windows compliment a previous given window given in memory of Magnie Peterson and all three are located in the north windows of the upper Narthex.
 


A nursery is available during the 10:30 a.m. service for children 4 and under, but children are very welcome at worship as well!

Large print and children's bulletins are available from the ushers.
Individual hearing amplifiers are also available from the ushers.

Please join us every week for the Word and the Sacraments, for worship and music, and for fellowship with the Zion family.

Worship Banners at Zion - Have you noticed the wonderful banners that grace our sanctuary? We have a set of white banners to commemorate All Saints Day, Christmas and Easter. During the season of Advent we have beautiful blue banners. Green banners will remind us of the seasons of Epiphany and the time after Pentecost, and the red banners will hang on Pentecost and Reformation Sunday. There are also banners specifically for baptisms and weddings. Currently, each of our banners has been given as a memorial gift.



Evangelical Lutheran Worship
Twenty-nine years ago we were introduced to the Lutheran Book of Worship, other wise known as the “Green Book”. This was the hymnal designated to replace the  “Red Book”, the Service Book and Hymnal. Well, it is time for a new hymnal, the “Cranberry Book”, otherwise known as Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW). This has been a project in the making for some time and now it is at Zion.  The ELW is both similar and different. It is similar in that you will most likely recognize two of the settings found in the LBW. It is similar in that many of our favorite hymns from both the LBW and the “Blue Book” (With One Voice, WOV) are included which means we will be able to eliminate two of our current hymn/song books and replace it with the one. What is different is that rather than the three liturgy settings found in the LBW, we will now have ten! In addition to the two we are familiar with from the LBW and one from the WOV we will also have a variety of settings some that are contemporary and even in Spanish for our Latino Lutheran brothers and sisters. Obviously we are not going to use all the settings, instead it is the goal of Zion’s Worship and Music committee to ease us in with the familiar settings and in time, experiment here and there.
