New Member Information Meeting Monday Nov. 7th or Thursday Nov. 10th
November 8, 2011
Becoming a member of Zion is not a prerequisite for participation in
our congregation or our ministries, however it is the best way to be a genuine part
of the church. Public vows taken in joining the church serve as a powerful reminder that we are not ashamed to identify with Christ or his people. Membership opens you to greater opportunities to use the spiritual gifts God has given you as a disci- ple of Christ. Membership information classes will be held Monday, Nov. 7 from 7-9 pm or Thursday. Nov. 10 from 7-9 pm. New members will be received in worship on the weekend of November 20.

Save the date and join us as the Holy Spirit gives us renewed vision with boldness to live out our faith in love as the people of God at Zion Lutheran.
Daily Lenten Devotionals
March 1, 2011
Lent 2011 b
egins on Wednesday, March 9, 2011. Here at Zion we will begin our Lenten discipline with our Ash Wednesday service at 7 pm. It will also be the beginning of the 40 days of daily emails. I will write a devotion for Monday – Friday for each of the six weeks of Lent. I will not post a devotion over the weekend.
This year I’m using “A Call To Die” by David Nasser as my inspiration. It is a call for 40 days of fasting from the world and feasting on God. He writes,”In the Christian life, we are called upon to pursue a daily death as though our lives depended upon it. The scriptures are filled with such paradoxes. To be set free, you must become a slave. To be filled, you must hunger and thirst. To become greater, we must become less. And the hardest of all: To live, you must die to self. This is what the apostle Paul meant when he declared, “To live is Christ, and to die is gain…”"
Make sure we have your email and that you are receiving constant contact emails from us. If you are you are all set. If not then send me your email so it can be added and you can join us on this 40 day devotional journey.
Pr. Jim
