Pastor Grimenstein will be starting an Adult Instruction Class on Thursday, July 9th at 7:30 p.m. for those interested in learning more about the Lutheran faith. The class is also open to current members interested in a "refresher" on the basics of the faith. The class will meet every Thursday from 7:30-8:15 for six weeks and will cover topics ranging from Baptism to the Ten Commandments.
Please email Zion secretary Susie Bishop secretary@zlcb.org to let her know you’re interested in joining the class.
2026 - 2027 Fiscal Budget Approved
On Sunday, June 21, the congregation unanimously approved the 2026–27 fiscal budget. The meeting was attended by 53 voting members. If you were unable to attend the voters' meeting, the budget presentation materials are available on the zlcb.org website under Member Documents. The password was previously eblasted to all members.
The Budget Committee's goal was to present a balanced budget that would break even, or generate a modest surplus. We are pleased to report that this year's budget reflects a slight surplus while continuing to support the ministries and mission of our church. The budget also includes modest increases to address the rising costs of utilities, services, materials, and staff salaries. We believe this plan reflects faithful stewardship of the resources God has entrusted to us while positioning our church for continued ministry and outreach.
