President’s Perspective

There are many exciting opportunities ahead for each of us at Zion. Whether it be outreach, spiritual growth initiatives, or strengthening our ministries, I believe God is leading us into a season of growth and renewed purpose. We have much to look forward to as we build upon the strong foundation that has been laid by those who came before us. 

I encourage each of you to stay involved, share your ideas, and actively participate in the life of the church. Your unique gifts and perspectives are invaluable, and together, we can continue to make Zion a place where faith is nurtured, love is shared, and our community is strengthened. 

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. 

Romans 12:4-6 

I am truly looking forward to this next chapter and am eager to serve alongside you as we strive to be a beacon of faith and love in our community. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your Elder or any Council member if you have any questions or concerns, or simply want to talk. We are all here to serve our church family. 

In Christ, 
Bob Schmidt 
Congregational President

Lenten Schedule for 2025

Our Lenten theme is "The Hand of the Lord" from Concordia Publishing House
Whether tightening a bolt, crocheting, or typing on a computer, there is so much that we do with our hands. Our Creator has bestowed on us these amazing instruments, yet all things are the work of the hand of the Lord. Throughout our Lenten mid-week services we will explore the ways in which the hand of the Lord is both Law and Gospel, and how His hand has come to us in Jesus. 

We’ll be reminded that the hand of Jesus has accomplished all that we need. Amazingly, He takes our manipulative, distorted, self-serving hands and restores them into useful hands for His purposes, both to literally use them in service and to make our whole lives into His instruments of witness, service, and praise.
