Welcome Friends and Guests: At the heart of our Advent preparation stands John the Baptist, who calls us to repent and make a new beginning. As the darkness increases, we turn toward the approaching light of Christ. For Christians he is the root of Jesse, the righteous judge who welcomes all, especially the poor and meek of the earth. We wait with hope for that day when the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and there will be no more hurt or destruction. From the Lord’s table we are sent in the spirit of John the Baptist to proclaim that in Christ the kingdom of God has come near.
Worship: We welcome all into the fullness of God's love. If you are visiting, please fill out a yellow guest card and put it in the offering plate as a record of your visit. Come back and worship with us each Sunday at 10 a.m.
Communion: We celebrate open communion. This is Christ’s table, all are welcome, as Christ welcomes all. You may come forward for the sacraments or cross your arms across your chest for a blessing. Our bread is gluten free and both wine and white grape juice (in center of communion tray) are available.
Fellowship: : Please join us after worship today as we place Chrismons on the sanctuary Christmas tree, then join us in the Fellowship Hall for our First Sunday Potluck. All are welcome.
Zion’s Lutheran is a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community of believers.
