Pastor Thur is retiring! See the June Newsletter (available May 26) page for more information.
Small Group Bible Study has launched! Currently there are three groups, customized for various interests, that meet in members' homes to study the Word. One group that is especially for families with young children (but adults without children are most welcome, too) meets the first and third Sundays at 6 PM, and includes dinner (child tending is provided). The second meets at 2 PM every other Monday, "food-free". And, the third meets at Pastor's home, Mondays at 7 PM. Topics are as selected by the participants. For more information, contact Pastor, 325-3420.
Men's Bible study 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, 8 AM at the church. Breakfast is served at 7:45; come early if you like, and help cook, eat a hearty breakfast, then study the Word. Currently, we're studying the book of Romans.
Adult Information Class, Wednesdays, 7 PM at the church. Bring a friend!
We are saddened by the many physical tribulations in this world, that bring heartache, loss, tragedy, but also opportunities to serve. The Oklahoma tornadoes that devastated a large swath of homes, schools and businesses recently are only the latest events that require those who can help do so. If you would like to make a financial contribution to disaster relief through the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, go Here.
For the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod's reaction to the recent US Health and Human Services Dept. mandate that religious-affiliated institutions provide contraception, abortifacients and sterilization (most such institutions are self-insured, so the fiction that insurance companies pay the cost of such benefits is false), see LCMS President Harrison's comments Here .
Wish you had a way to make your weekly contributions when you can't attend Sunday service? Electronic Funds Transfer/Credit/Debit Cards program is now available. Secure, convenient, no cost, and you can stay current with your offerings while you're away. Talk to Ken Gehrke or Tom O'Keefe for more information and to enroll.
Your closet is already too full, and that's where you keep your obsolete cell phones, right? You can help our men and women in the armed forces by donating your old cell phones. Bring them to Zion and put them in the marked box in the Narthex, or see Jenny Dennis.
Speaking of our Armed Forces, there is a box in the Narthex for collection of personal care items to be sent to our men and women stationed overseas. Please use it to deposit such packaged items as toothpaste, soap, gum, razors, etc. Thank you! |
