Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, whose birth we joyfully celebrate this Christmas season.

Though 2020 has been one of those years to remember for all the wrong reasons, I look back and see that the gracious hand of God has given us far more blessings than we deserve or need.  In the midst of all the bad that has come along lately, the Lord of life graciously continues to give us all that we need for this body and life, and so much more. 

So, let us look with joy at all the blessings that the Holy Trinity showers upon us each and every day!  Blessings given out of His unending love for us.  Blessings given by His grace for the sake of Christ, whose birth we get to celebrate once again this December 25th. Whose life we will follow during Epiphany and Lent.  Whose death and resurrection we will ponder and celebrate during Holy Week and on Easter morning.

The earthly blessings that we constantly receive are overshadowed by the greatest blessing of all, the forgiveness of all our sins.  This is the blessing that leads to life and salvation.  It is the blessing that assures us of our place in heaven where we will live eternally in the joy and wonder of our Lord and Savior, Jesus.

Christmas blessings for Christ Jesus, the Babe of Bethlehem who is our Lord and Savior.  Amen.

Introduction to Zion Lutheran

When you step into the sanctuary at Zion you will see the words, "A Changeless Christ For A Changing World" written on the archway in the front of the nave. These words give you a good idea of what to expect at Zion in our doctrine and practice. While many congregations try to market ‘a christ’ that appeals to what a changing world wants, we continue to give a constantly changing world what it needs—A Changeless Christ in Word and Sacraments, like the Christian Church has done for two-thousand years. At Zion you will find a pure proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a right administration of the Sacraments, flowing from Scripture alone, guarded by the historic liturgy and Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. We don’t try to change the Word of God to please the world, but proclaim the full counsel of Scripture, including the Law in Its full sternness and the Gospel of Christ crucified in Its full sweetness. This is what we, and the entire fallen world of all time, need—a changeless Christ. If you would like to have the forgiveness of sins, eternal life and salvation that Jesus won on the cross and delivers to us today in the Church, please join us poor miserable sinners.

Welcome to Zion Lutheran Church.
