RIC Sunday Worship: Celebrating Diversity as God's Children

Zion’s Lutheran Church, 510 Pine Street in Trinidad CO will observe Reconciling in Christ (RIC) Sunday on Jan. 25 with 10 a.m. worship followed by lunch and fellowship time. All are welcome to join us.

Reconciling in Christ is a public way for faith communities to see, name, celebrate, and advocate for people of every race & culture, age & ability, family structure & economic status, and every sexual orientation, gender identity, & gender expression.

The RIC worship celebration allows Zion’s to share our belief that all of us are children of God, saved by grace. Zion’s Lutheran wants people who are looking for a church home or simply a place to worship to know that when Zion’s claims everyone is welcome, we mean everyone.

At Zion’s, we support and love our siblings in Christ. We embrace the uniqueness of every individual and respect their dignity and worth, for all are created in the image of God. We believe that the Gospel is built upon a foundation of diversity. We know that the Creator gifted us a universe infused with beautiful diversity. We have experienced that the Blessed Community is strongest and most faithful to Jesus when we invite everyone to the table.

In November 2024 Zion’s members reinforced this commitment by voting to become a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) church partner, as one of almost 1,200 congregations in Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) that are a part of and support this ministry.

Our RIC designation helps communicate to visitors and potential members that Zion’s truly is a church with heart!
