Christ is Risen

We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and His might, and the wonder that He has done. – Psalm 78:4

The Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, having received more than 50% of the votes cast in the third ballot for the election of the president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), is the president-elect for the 2026–2029 triennium. It will be his sixth term in office.

The election for the position of Synod president began last fall with an online nominating process, conducted by YesElections, that concluded Feb. 18, or five months prior to the start of the Synod convention, with a report to the secretary of the Synod.

The resulting candidates for the office of president were the five ordained ministers who received the highest number of votes in the nominations process and who consented to serve if elected. The voting began, according to Bylaw 3.12.2.4, starting June 6 (six weeks prior to the convention) via Internet balloting provided by YesElections.

Bible Study for Sunday, August 16, 2026 
Where we discussed John 17:12-19, 17:20-23, 17:24-26, 18:1-3, John 18:4-11, along with excerpts from The Seven Petition of the Lord’s Prayer, John 7:44-49, John 20:28-31, and Genesis 3:14-5. Our Bible Study is lead by Rev. Dr. Edward O. Grimenstein, Pastor of Zion Lutheran Church, Bridgeville, PA. 

Zion Lutheran Church, Bridgeville, PA is Online at https://www.zlcb.org/

Each service at Zion Lutheran Church (normally the first of our two Sunday services) is streamed LIVE on our YouTube channel. These streams are for Sunday’s, Wednesday’s, Lenten, Advent, and special services. The entire service is streamed from beginning-to-end. Weddings and Funerals can also be streamed, if requested in advance.

Altar Guild Members Needed 
We are looking for 2-4 new people to join Zion’s Altar Guild. Altar Guild members prepare, clean, and put away items for Holy Communion each week. At various times throughout the year they also dress our sanctuary according to the colors of the church calendar. Occasionally they may also clean and press vestments and paraments, and perform minor tasks to ensure that all is in order for the weekly worship of our congregation. 

The guild operates on a monthly rotation similar to usher teams. Each team of 2-4 altar guild members is responsible for one service ( either early or late) for their chosen month of service. 

Would you consider joining this vital ministry? No experience is necessary; however, altar guild members must be confirmed members of the church. Thank you in advance for your gifts of time, talents, and treasure in the Body of Christ!
