First Sunday in Lent

Welcome Friends and Guests: Today's gospel tells of Jesus’ temptation in the desert. His forty-day fast becomes the basis of our Lenten pilgrimage. In the early church Lent was a time of intense preparation for those to be baptized at the Easter Vigil. This catechetical focus on the meaning of faith is at the heart of our Lenten journey to the baptismal waters of Easter. Hungry for God’s mercy, we receive the bread of life to nourish us for the days ahead.

Worship:  We welcome all into the fullness of God's love. If you are visiting, sign our guestbook as a record of your visit. Come back for worship and fellowship 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 in the Fellowship Hall for coffee and conversation. All are welcome. 

Zion’s Lutheran is a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) community of believers.
