John 1:29–42 - ‘Not Andrew’s Success but Christ’s Gain’
John 1:29–42 - ‘Not Andrew’s Success but Christ’s Gain’

John 1:29–42 - ‘Not Andrew’s Success but Christ’s Gain’
Yesterday I heard a fine sermon from Vicar Sergiu Trifa on the Gospel reading for the day. One line stood out regarding verses 40–42, “One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ). He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John. You shall be called Cephas” (which means Peter).” — that we would “focus not on Andrew’s success but Christ’s gain.”

Winter Storm Watch! (Update)

New Information: 
On Sunday, only Entrance #2 (the entrance at the side of the church in the main parking lot) will be cleared of ice and snow.  Everyone attending church and Sunday school must use that entrance. The front steps and sidewalk near the cross WILL NOT be cleared for use.

Forecasters are predicting a chance of a winter snow storm Saturday evening into Sunday. For your planning, please know that regardless of the weather outcome, Pastor and the Board of Elders will conduct worship services, Bible study and Sunday school as usual on Sunday.  Please use your discretion regarding whether or not to come to church, as only you can gauge your comfort level and local road conditions. As a reminder, the 8:00 a.m. service is live streamed on our YouTube channel: LIVE STREAMS -- and the corresponding worship bulletins are posted at “Bulletins”. Viewers can watch the service anytime from 8:00 a.m. onward.

Merry Christmas, Pastor, Deaconess & Staff

Dear Brothers and Sisters of Zion,

Once again we begin a new church year. As we move through the season of Advent, we prepare for the celebration of the birth of Christ, our Savior. It is a joyful season, when we focus on giving to others because we have been given so much, including the forgiveness of sins and salvation.

It is the tradition of Zion to take a collection for Christmas gifts for the Pastor and Staff to show our appreciation for their efforts throughout the year. Enclosed are three envelopes in which you may contribute a free will offering toward their Christmas gifts.

  • In the envelope marked Pastor insert either cash or a check made out to Pastor Edward Grimenstein.

  • In the envelope marked Deaconess insert either cash or a check made out to Joanna Lee.

  • In the envelope marked Staff, please insert cash only. Monies collected will be distributed between six staff members: Susie Bishop (Office Admin), Jim Oelschlager (Custodian), John Migyanko (Treasurer), Mark Killinger (Music Director), Sandra Quinlan (Lead Organist), and Doug Krantz (Asst. Organist).

Spiritual Conversations: Part 4 of 4 Videos

PART 4 of 4
The Eager Conversationalist/Spiritual Conversation Curve Workshops
Drawing on Barna Group data contained in the 2018 monograph Spiritual Conversations in the Digital Age, Lutheran Hour Ministries is offering two workshops: the first, Eager Conversationalists, examines spiritual conversations. It offers insights to help us become more intentional-more eager-to engage in spiritual conversations with others. The second, The Spiritual Conversation Curve, offers help in getting past conversational hurdles. This is possible when we focus on someone’s “spiritual posture,” so as not to impose a conversation that’s forced or ill-timed.
