Christian Hope in a Hopeless World
My dear friends in Jesus, as I write this, I’ve just returned home from a week of meetings with our partner church in India, the India Evangelical Lutheran Church (IELC). I had not realized it, but it has been over 50 years since the last sitting LCMS president visited. In the last decade, the Synod’s relationship with the IELC has been difficult, due in largest measure to internal lawsuits and divisions in the Indian church, but this was an incredibly hope-filled and eventful visit. I hope to share more about it in the near future, but for now, I would like to use this visit as a backdrop for some broader thoughts about our Christian hope in a world that seems increasingly hopeless, especially during this difficult election season.

Weddings and Funerals can also be streamed, if requested in advance.
Zion Goes to the Movies
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin
A new movie is out in selected theaters about the WWII-era German Lutheran theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Zion has purchased a dozen tickets for the showing on Sunday, November 24 at 3:30 pm at the Cinemark Theater in Robinson Township. Tickets are only $5 each. If you are interested in one or more of these discounted tickets, please contact Susie at the church office at secretary@zlcb.org.
We hope to have a group from Zion for ride sharing to the theater.
Deposit your spare change starting Sunday November 10th through December 1st, in the container in the back of the sanctuary to support our Youth! A little spare change from each of us can go a long way toward helping our youth attend the LCMS Youth Gathering in New Orleans this coming summer.
