Zion worship services are being held each Sunday at  10:15am. (In-person and on Facebook LIVE).
Attendees will receive a copy of the day’s bulletin (Order of Worship) via email or in the narthex as they enter on Sunday morning. Prepackaged communion grape juice/wafer sets will be available for use on Sundays or you may receive Holy Communion at the front of the church.  The offering will be collected as you enter the narthex. The offering will NOT be collected during the service.

For Lutherans, worship stands at the center of our life of faith. Through God’s word, water, bread, and prayer we are nurtured in faith and sent out into the world. Central to our worship life is the presence of God through word and sacrament. The word proclaimed and the sacraments —both Holy Baptism and Holy Communion — are called the means of grace. We believe that Jesus Christ is present in these means through the power of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes we describe worship as a “gathering around the means of grace.”
There is also a basic pattern for worship among Lutherans. We gather. We encounter God’s word. We share a meal at the Lord’s table. And we are sent into the world. But we do not think about worship so much in terms of what we do. Worship is fundamentally about what God is doing and our response to God’s action. Worship is an encounter with God, who saves us through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Holy Communion is offered at worship services to all believers each Sunday. All of God’s people are welcome to our Lord’s table — it’s our Lord’s table, after all, and all are invited.
