• Youth Group/Sunday School News

  Zion Youth Group will be serving a free-will offering Easter Brunch on April 21st immediately after church in the Fellowship Hall.  We are asking for food donations including baked goods & items to be purchased.  There are sign-up sheets in the Narthex.

  Zion Youth Group will also be holding a painting class on April 28th immediately after church in the Fellowship Hall hosted by Junkin Chic Treasures. They will supply everything you need to create your own wooden barn quilt. Sign-up sheet for the class is in the Narthex. Signup deadline is Easter Sunday, so they have time to prep your boards. You can choose from the size, background, and pattern of quilt you want to create, and no painting skills are required! Youth Group will be on hand to help and serve snacks during the class.

   The last day of Sunday School will be April 28th and will resume in the Fall.

• David Ahn, Seminarian student
  

  Dear Zion Lutheran Church, Thank you for that encouraging letter this Christmas. It is encouraging to see that people at Zion Lutheran Church are thinking of me. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. I went back home for break and spent time with my family. I also had the chance to preach twice at two local LCMS churches. Spring semester will start soon. Hopefully, I can learn a lot this semester. I will be taking classes on worship liturgy and advanced preaching this semester. Pray that I will learn a lot. Pray that the Lord will help me gain knowledge that can help me as a pastor in the future. I will get my vicarage call in May. Pray that the Lord will alleviate my anxiety as I wait for the call. Please continue to pray for me as I study at the seminary. In the name of Jesus, David Ahn

• DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS???
  

  What does the Bible have to Say about Life Today?  What is grace?  What do we know about heaven?  How can I trust God more than anything?  How can I think about others more than myself?  What is the Law?  What is the Gospel?  Why does it matter?  Why should I go to church?  Are Baptism and Communion really that important?  If you or someone you know wants to understand what Lutherans believe about our heavenly Father’s love; our Savior’s presence with us in the past, present, and future; and the Holy Spirit’s power for daily living, than contact one of the Elders (Shane Dose – (402) 631-8965, tsdose@hamilton.net; Nathan Panko – (402) 762-5324, natepanko@hotmail.com, or Boyd Stuhr, Jr. – (402) 366-8608, stuhrville@stewireless.com) and let them know you’re interested in attending An Introduction to the Lutheran Faith.
