For Many Years, Oh God of Grace!
"The purpose of this congregation is to share the true Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, throughout our membership, our communities and the world."
Zion is....a congregation of The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. The LCMS was chartered in 1847 and Zion joined Synod in 1880.
Zion was chartered in 1873 and is one of the oldest continuous congregations of the LCMS between here and the west coast.
Zion is....a Christ centered, Bible believing congregation. Based on the tenets of the Lutheran Reformation - Grace Alone, Faith Alone and Scripture Alone - Zion's focus is always the blood that Christ has shed for us.
Zion is....a congregation committed to Christian education and youth. Even before having their first pastor, classes were being held in a sod cabin.
Zion is....a rural congregation with great diversity. Locally, Zion draws members from Aurora, Bradshaw, Hampton, Henderson, Hordville,Grand Island, Marquette, Polk, Sutton and York. The diversity of the congregation is reflected in the occupational pursuits of Zion's members.
Zion is....a mission minded church having shared members to start Immanuel, Polk: Salem and St. Peter, Hampton; and having helped St. Paul, Central City. Mission starts were considered in Bradshaw and Sutton. Currently Zion is sponsoring a preaching station in Aurora. Mission groups at Zion have been active in Gospel outreach and support as well as social ministry.

ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH EASTER VIDEO
It is with Easter Joy that we share the following Easter Video via YouTube! To God be the Glory!
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Vacation Bible School-Rainforest Explorers-Jesus Leads the WayNew dates: July 13-17, 2020 from 8:30-11:30 AM at Zion, HamptonHopefully we can all meet together in person, but if not, we will be together virtually through Zion's live streaming!Students and Volunteers can register online @ vbsmate.com/ZionHamptonNE
- The dates have been changed to July 13-17 and hopefully we can gather in larger groups and host VBS as in previous years
- If we are still unable to meet in larger groups, we will host a virtual VBS through Zion live stream that could look something like the following
- Opening with songs, Bible take home point, Mission Moment and SYDNEY THE SLOTH!
- Telling of Bible Story
- Games/movement (we'd have to figure out how that would "look" virtually)
- Bible Challenge
- Craft demonstration (the students would make it themselves later)
- Snack (We'd have to think that through...hopefully send items in their bag)
- Closing
- If we did it virtually, we would prepare bags for each child with the lessons, carbiners and Rainforest Explorers Collectibles, crafts, snacks and other needed materials. These would be ready for the families to pick up the week before according to Nebraska Department of Health guidelines
- We would decorate just the front of the church
- Perhaps a 9:00 start with about a 1 hour time.
- Song Cards will be sent to the families earlier so they could be listening to the VBS songs
- VBS 2020 RAINFOREST EXPLORERS-Jesus Leads the Way

Alter Guild
Altar Guild meets quarterly on the first Monday evening of the month and welcomes new members. Please join us if you’re interested in helping prepare the Altar and Sanctuary for worship services each week with Altar Cloths, Banners, Flowers, and Paraments. Our next meeting will be April 6th at 8:00 PM at the Parish Hall. “8 O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells.” (Psalm 26:8):21a)
The Altar Guild encourages the congregation to provide FRESH FLOWERS to celebrate a special occasion (wedding, anniversary, etc.), to honor someone, or to give Thanks & Praise to our heavenly Father. A sign-up Poster is located in the South Hallway of the Narthex. 12 The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. (Song of Songs 2:12)
