Zion’s Brand-New Vulcan Commercial Kitchen Range
Last month, Zion received our brand-new Vulcan commercial kitchen range, replacing the 57-year old unit that was installed when the church was first built, and for which repair parts were no longer available.
In the pre-dawn darkness on October 2 (see photos), four very strong and capable employees of Hobart Appliance Service removed the old 1,000-pound range and installed the new unit, navigating a difficult path down the outside stairs, into the lower hallway, through four heavy steel doorways that had to be removed to provide clearance, and into the kitchen. It was an impressive feat of strength and mobility without a single scratch or dent to any part of the stove or church!
The new range has a built-in griddle that will come in handy for cooking pancakes, sausage, hash browns, and bacon! Is a future church pancake breakfast in the offing? Stay tuned!

Help Build a Rose Parade Float
Sign Up Now for a "Bucket List" Experience at the 2026 Rose Parade
Registration is open to serve as a Petal Pushers volunteer who will help bring to life several floats for the 2026 Tournament of Roses Parade scheduled for January 1 in Pasadena, CA. The Petal Pushers, a group of thousands of volunteers who decorate the Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) float and up to nine others each year, will begin working on the 2025 parade floats the three Saturdays prior to Christmas (Dec. 6, 13, & 20). They will then work two shifts a day beginning Dec. 26 until the floats are completed.
Individuals ages 13 and older can work as little as one shift, or as many as they want, on a variety of tasks necessary to complete the floats, including attaching thousands of roses, carnations, lilies, mums, and other flowers, as well as natural materials, such as seeds, coffee beans, and leaves, to create the beauty and splendor of the floral floats traveling down Pasadena's Colorado Boulevard on parade day. Volunteers of all skill levels are needed; whether this will be your very first time, or you are a seasoned veteran, there are dozens of jobs to do.

Building off of the 2026 Tournament of Roses Parade Theme, "The Magic in Teamwork", the LHM Float Committee proudly presents its Diamond Anniversary Float, "Bringing Christ to the Nations". For 75 years LHM has started the new year with a Christian Message of hope in Jesus Christ in the form of a floral Rose Parade Float. This year's float features a Team Jesus Blimp flying over the world and coming forth from the church as Jesus celebrates with 12 modern-day disciples as it features the message ALL WELCOME.
"Only about forty individuals are needed each year to work on the LHM float, so the majority of Petal Pushers decorate other parade floats, which brings in funds to lower the cost of the LHM float being part of the annual event," says Dick Gast, chair of the LHM Float Committee. "Working on a variety of floats allows our volunteers to meet people from diverse backgrounds who join us from all across the country, believers and nonbelievers alike, offering a chance to make new friends, network, and share expressions of the faith that gives true meaning to this experience." Visit petalpushers.org for more information about the Petal Pushers, the tour options, or to register to decorate.
Did you Know?
As the only Christian float in the Rose Parade, the LHM float provides a Gospel witness to viewers everywhere, from along the parade route to TVs worldwide. The float is a self-funded project of the Southern California District of the Lutheran Laymen's League and is not included in LHM's operating budget.
Zion’s own Barb & Wayne Oechslein have served as Petal Pushers … they are happy to share their thoughts on this wonderful experience!
