March 17, 2020 (St. Patrick, Missionary to Ireland)

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

“4 I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,” (1 Cor. 1:4)

In order to facilitate the new guidelines concerning social distancing and “10-person gatherings,” the Board of Elders (with the consultation of other ministry leaders) made the following changes to start March 17 and continuing in the format below until further notice.

• Worship on Wednesdays and Sundays will be “on-line” only at this time.  
• Sunday School and Adult Bible study are suspended until further notice.
• No Youth Group meal before or Fellowship after the March 18 worship service.
• Midweek (Wednesday night) classes for Grades 5-7 are suspended until further notice.
• Confirmation students & parents will meet tonight, March 17, at 7:00 pm to discuss the remainder of the Confirmation year with Pastor Feddern.
• Electronic worship bulletins, worship inserts, sermons, and sermon outlines will be provided for worship beginning today.
• Worship alternatives include:

• Zion-Hampton’s website (www.zionhampton.com) – use “Live Stream” link.
• The Lutheran Hour is broadcast on KAWL (1370 AM) at 7:30 am and on KLCV (99.3 FM) at 8:00 am on Sunday mornings.
• Emmanuel-York (www.emmanuelyork.publishpath.com) – livestream’s their worship service at their webpage or listen on KAWL 1370 AM or KOOL 105.3 FM at 10:30 am on Sunday.
• Channel 8 (KLKN) ABC – This is the Life airs from 10-10:30 am on Sunday mornings followed by Main Street Living Lutheran worship from 10:30-11:00 am.

• We encourage you to mail, drop-off in person, or use electronic withdrawal payments (Debit Authorization form will be attached in separate email) for offerings and tithes.
• Please share/contact those members who do not have access to electronic mailings.
• Please forward any emergency needs to the Board of Elders or Pastor Feddern. Now is the time for everyone to love and support their neighbors in every physical need.

Above all, we ask you to pray for patience, wisdom, and guidance as we all struggle through this, along with our nation and the world. We do know this: God is in control and He will provide for all those under His care and provision.

“20b Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the Lord God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the Lord is finished.” (1 Chronicles 28:20b)

Under His Care and in His Service,

Pastor David A. Feddern
