Welcome Friends and Guests: Though the word trinity is not found in the scriptures, today’s second reading includes the apostolic greeting that begins the liturgy: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. In the gospel Jesus sends his disciples forth to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. More than a doctrine, the Trinity expresses the heart of our faith: we have experienced the God of creation made known in Jesus Christ and with us always through the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity in word and sacrament, as we profess the creed, and as we are sent into the world to bear witness to our faith.
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.
Special: Our 5th Sunday Offering will benefit Lutheran World Relief/World Hunger.
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.
