  About this year’s Lenten Theme
  "Some hymns tell a story, others teach, and still others create pictures in our minds of the great works of God. Some hymns do all three, weaving together a tapestry that is beautiful yet simple, wondrous yet easy to understand. ‘O Love, How Deep’ (LSB 544) is that kind of hymn.” Journey through the history and hymn text for “O Love, How Deep” to see the depth, breadth, and height of God’s love for us, His creation. “For us” is encompassed in how God is beyond our comprehension, yet He took on the most accessible form to walk with us. Meditate on this historical hymn throughout the season of Lent to see how God’s love is steady, deep, and has no end.

Starting on Ash Wednesday, spend every day with God reflecting on why God sends His son to die for you. Contemplate Scripture as you read a short one-page devotion and prayer, leading you all the way through Easter Sunday.

During Lent, we will work through the Bible study Patient Urgency by Lutheran Hour Ministries. This study focuses on the Gospel of Mark, spiritual conversations, and immersing ourselves in the story of the Bible. We will host two time slots of the same Bible study. Pastor will lead the Bible study at 2:30 on Wednesdays on February 25, March 4, 11, 18, and 25. Deaconess Joanna will lead the Bible study on Saturdays at 11:00 on February 21 and 28, March 14, 21, and 28. We will take off on March 7th. Please indicate if you will plan to attend one of the Bible studies.

The Zion Soup Club is a way to connect people in our church and preschool, while also simplifying meal schedules for all involved. Everyone who signs up for the soup club will be assigned to groups of 4-5 households. Each week, one family will be responsible for making soup for everyone in their group. The other families will simply need to pick up their soup that week.

If you sign up, please commit to at least two cycles of the soup club (cooking two times).

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.

PART 3 of 4
The Eager Conversationalist/Spiritual Conversation Curve Workshops
Technology and rapid cultural shifts, including the impact of social media, have redefined the ways we communicate and have altered the face of evangelism. Spiritual Conversations in the Digital Age focuses on this shifting definition of evangelism and the perceptions of faith sharing from both sides of the conversation: the sharer and the hearer. Through this research, church leaders can coach Christians to be effective in sharing the unchanging Good News in the digital age.
