YOUNG ADULTS BIBLE STUDY
The Young Adults-meet in the Fellowship Hall at 9:00 AM. They are studying “Reopening Christianity” by Zach Zehnder, asking the questions every Christian must answer in order to be the greatest and fullest representation of Jesus that we can be. Adult Class that meets in the sanctuary is looking at some articles and Bible Studies from the Lutheran Witness. We encourage everyone to take these opportunities to grow together, holding fast to the confession of our hope.
LWML News
Zion Elizabeth LWML-Lutheran Women in Mission-met last Tuesday. We looked at Shared Blessing-Inspirations for a Woman’s Soul, a Spring Quarterly Bible Study, “Take My Life”, and tied blankets for Zion’s 4 High School Seniors. One of our goals is to encourage Christian fellowship among women of Zion’s Congregation and to provide assistance in the educational, physical and spiritual needs of those in the congregation, community and world by sharing God’s love with them. Zion Recognition of High School Seniors will be Sunday, April 28, during the worship service. The four seniors are Eli Arndt, Brayden Dose, Evan Pankoke, and Nicholas Schleichardt. God’s richest blessings to these fine young men.

When Jonah was willing to allow God to interrupt his life, the result was revival in an entire city.
