Voter’s Approve Deaconess for Zion
Voters approved the Call Committee's recommendation to call Joanna Lee for the role of Deaconess at Zion. Joanna graduates from Concordia Theological Seminary (Fort Wayne, IN) in August. Lord willing, she will arrive at Zion sometime in August or September! Pastor and the elders have already begun assisting the Lee family with the beginning stages of the relocation process. Please include them in your prayers -- that the Lord would bless Joanna, her husband Richard and their children during this transition, and use them mightily in the work of His Kingdom at Zion!
