Church Update! Updated June 24th
Zion Lutheran Church,
As we enter the summer stages of the Covid-19 crisis, we want to be able to serve the congregation in a way most comfortable for them.
For those who wish to worship at church, we are holding two services at 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM. There is a signup online to register yourself for one of the services. The signup is limited to 30 in number, but please spread out the number of people at each service so that one service doesn’t have a disproportional amount than the other.
We are having Children’s Sunday School from 10:00 to 10:30 in between services.
When you come to worship, we encourage you to wear a mask in and throughout the service itself. Though not required, it’s a simple act of love that can be shown to your neighbor who may be worried and fearful during this time. Those who have remained at home may even be encouraged to come back to hear God’s Word and receive the Sacrament with their brothers and sisters in Christ!
Adult Bible Class is after the 10:30 service, starting around 11:40. We are beginning our study on the Lord’s Supper, so if you’ve ever wondered about any doctrines and practices surrounding the Lord’s Supper, now’s your chance to learn and ask questions with your church family!
If you aren’t comfortable coming back to worship at Zion, let Pastor know and materials to worship at home will be provided.
There will be a one-day VBS for the children of Zion Lutheran Church on Saturday, July 25th. We will begin at 9:30 in the morning and go until 3:30 in the afternoon. A picnic with families will follow at 4:00 PM. If you’d like to sign up, contact Pastor or Tanya Schroeder.
As always, pray for your pastor and church family during this crisis!
May the Great Physician of body and soul guard and protect your bodies from all illnesses, and souls from the snares of the evil one.
In Christ,
Pastor Ralston
Let us pray.
Almighty God, heavenly Father, give us grace to trust You during this time of illness and distress. In mercy put an end to the epidemic that afflicts us. Grant relief to those who suffer, and comfort all who mourn. Sustain all medical personnel in their labors, and cause Your people ever to serve You in righteousness and holiness; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
