Lent begins in about two weeks! This Lenten Season, Zion Lutheran is offering all its members and guests an opportunity of a lifetime… the chance to be part of a study that has already changed thousands of people’s lives and continues to change lives.
Starting Ash Wednesday, February 17th, we will start a “40 Days of Purpose” spiritual growth journey. The various parts of this journey are:
- Reading Rick Warren’s best-selling book, “The Purpose-Driven Life”, which is divided into 40 short chapters dealing with the five purpose God has for us;
- Lenten services each Wednesday evening, where we will provide all participants with a hearty meal (so don’t worry about cooking supper on Wednesdays during Lent — we’ve got you covered!), hear a 20 minute message from Pastor Rick Warren, followed by an opportunity to dig a little deeper into each week’s purpose through small-group study time.
If you want to be part of this important study, you can register at church or by calling the church office. The cost for each participant is just $15 if you need the book and just $5 (for the small-group study guide) if you already have the book. However, the deadline for registering is Monday, February 8th, so please don’t delay!
Life Application Bibles
2010 for Zion Lutheran can be described as “The Year of the Bible” and will give all its members and guests an opportunity to grow closer to the living God. This morning we have 107 Bibles that we are putting into people’s hands. If you have not ordered one of these Bibles, you can still obtain one by contacting Pastor Haney or the church office. Take the first step to a great 2010!
Worship tapes
Worship tapes are available on the FYI Bulletin Board. Feel free to take one to anyone who would like to listen to the worship service. Return used tapes to the church office at your convenience.

New Fall schedule and Worship changes
| September 20, 2009 | ||
| 9:00 am | to | 10:00 am |
| 10:30 am | to | 11:30 am |
On September 20th we will start our fall worship and Kids Club schedule:
9:00 am – Contemporary Worship Service
9:00 am – Kid’s Club students are part of worship in the Sanctuary
9:15 am – Kid’s Club students continue their learning downstairs
10:00 am – Contemporary worship lets out and Adult Fellowship begins
10:15 am – Kid’s Club lets out and Family Fellowship begins in the Fellowship hall downstairs
10:30 am – Traditional Worship Service
What does our new schedule offer our visitors and members? A lot!
MEETING THE NEEDS OF TODAY’S FAMILIES
Our 9 o’clock worship service gives parents with children adequate time to get up in the morning and get their kids ready for church, without too much chaos and frustration. This generation (with both parents often working outside the home) tends to get up later on Sundays than previous generations. Therefore, an 8 o’clock service is too early. However, many parents with children view 10:30 am as being too late because too much of a precious non-workday is gone before they get home from church. Thus, our 9 o’clock service is scheduled and designed to meet the needs of young families.
At this 9 AM service, children will have an opportunity to worship with their parents at the beginning of the worship service and we will tailor this opening segment of worship to be kid-friendly. At 9:15 AM, the children are dismissed for Kid’s Club so that they can continue learning about Jesus in an age-appropriate setting, rather than sitting for a full hour in worship designed for older youth and adults. This approach allows children to learn the importance of worship while also keeping them engaged (by our keeping things age-appropriate for them while they are here).
This worship format also allows parents with young children a quiet time each week (9:15 AM – 10:00 AM) to meditate on God’s Word for them. Many young parents will view this quiet time in worship with God as a blessing and a source of renewal.
Those parents who prefer their children attending the hour-long worship service with them are accommodated, as well. Children can attend Kid’s Club until it lets out at 10:15 AM. Then the family can easily attend the 10:30 AM service together as a family.
ENHANCED FELLOWSHIP
This schedule also allows for more fellowship among members who do not attend the same worship service because of the short span of time between the services – as opposed to the large gap between the 8:00 and 10:30 AM services.
A CHOICE OF WORSHIP STYLES
The new consolidated schedule allows us to offer two quality services. Each of these services will be designed to reach a little different audience. The first service will be designed to better meet the needs of the unchurched and parents with young children. The second service will be designed to better meet the needs of those who like more traditional worship. Offering both styles of worship will give us the greatest opportunity to reach more people with God’s love.
We hope you are excited to try this new worship schedule. We think it will give Zion Lutheran the best opportunities for vibrancy and faithfulness. If you have questions, feel free to contact Pastor Haney.
Ministry opportunity
With the new fall schedule, we are looking for people who would like to read one or more Scripture lessons during either the 9 AM or the 10:30 AM worship services. If you are interested, please write your name, your phone number and the word “lector” on a Communion Card and drop it in the offering plate on Sunday
OR
You may contact the Church office at any time. We will then call you to schedule a convenient time for you. Thank you to everyone who has helped with the Scripture readings this past summer.
