LWML News
Elizabeth LWML-Lutheran Women in Mission will be celebrating LWML Sunday next Sunday, October 1, with the theme The King Is Coming (Psalm 24:7-10). We celebrate all God has done through the Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML). The power of God is evident in the dimes, quarters, and dollars you put in the Mite Box, and we celebrate this every LWML Sunday. Thank you! Zion Elizabeth LWML (Purple Peeps) invite the entire congregation to celebrate together as the Body of Christ. WEAR PURPLE, TAKE A MITE BOX, CELEBRATE GOD'S WORK IN THE MISSION AND MINISTRY OF LWML. (Special prize to the one who can guess the person who shared this statement."LWML could stand for Long Winded Lutheran Men.")
LWML-Lutheran Woman in Mission Rally Day Tailgate-Thank you to everyone who helped make the Tailgate a success…those who purchased/brought food, prepared food, roasted the hot dogs, helped set up, helped clean up…a fun time of food and fellowship! Donation of $208 was received to support LWML-Lutheran Women in Mission projects.
LWML is collecting plastic bags for Orphan Grain Train. They use these bags to make mats for people in warm, damp climates. There is a container in the room off the entrance of the church for collecting the plastic bags. Thank you!
SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS
2023-2024 Sunday School Year- Sunday School/Bible Class opportunities-A way for all of us to grow in our Enduring Faith! "A Prayer Lesson" is the title of this week's Bible lesson for our PreK-8th grade students. With Jesus' disciples, we, too, implore, "Lord, teach us to pray". (Luke 11:1). Jesus teaches His disciples-and all humankind-the prayer used throughout the Church to this day. Jesus follows His instruction with a parable illustrating how our heavenly Father unfailingly hears all our prayers. As a family, challenge one another to recite the Lord's Prayer from memory. The Young Adult will continue with their Study of The Five Love Languages. We all give and receive love in 5 different ways: words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time and physical touch. The current Bible study for the Adult Class that meets in the sanctuary is "Kingdom Living in Our Culture". DCE Ben, Kathy Gloystein and Melanie Klute

BIBLE STUDY
WOMEN OF THE WORD (W.O.W.) – W.O.W-Women Of the Word continues the Bible study, "Be Still & Know", a study of rest and refuge by Deb Burma. We are unpacking the promises found in Psalm 46 and fulfilled in Christ, examining stormy situations, and reviewing narratives from the Gospels, where Jesus meets various women in the midst of their turmoil. Deb Burma is a follower of Jesus, a pastor's wife, and a mom. She's a blogger, a women's ministry leader and a self-proclaimed coffee/chocolate connoisseur. Above all, she is a grace-filled child of God. She lives in Columbus, Nebraska. We invite all women to join us every Tuesday morning at 8:00 AM at Zion Fellowship Hall.
