Ways to Worship in February

Worship Services are at 8 and 10:30 a.m. with Sunday School at 9:15 a.m. and a fellowship hour at 9:15 a.m. Holy Communion is celebrated at the 8 a.m. service on the first and third Sundays of the month and at the 10:30 a.m. service on the second and fourth Sundays.

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday services at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. on 2/22/12. Weekly Lenten Luncheons begin on Wednesday, 2/29, at 11:30 a.m. and Lenten Soup Suppers begin that same day at 5:30 p.m. followed by Vesper services at 7 p.m.

The Sunday Sermon is available online to read or listen to. Visit the Sermon page.

Did You Know? - In traditional Lutheran worship, we make two confessions on many Sundays; a confession of sin and a confession of faith. In the first, we acknowledge who we are as sinners and saints, and in the second, we acknowledge who God is in the mystery of the Trinity.



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

If you are away visiting or on vacation,  you are encouraged to find a place of worship near where you are. Please remember your financial obligation to Zion whether you worship with us or with other congregations.

Funeral Planning - Last March's newsletter included a folder called "My Wishes for My Funeral" which is to be used as a helpful piece of information for those who will be making your funeral arrangements so that they will know your wishes. It is meant for the use of your family and  the pastoral staff here at Zion. If you have questions or need more information, please call Pastor Blenkush.


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.


Stained Glass Windows - During the month of December, 2009, 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. 

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.
