The latest news about the people and ministries at Zion Lutheran Church & School
LWML SUNDAY
“Fragrant Sacrifices and
Offerings” based on Ephesians 5:2
– “ and live a life of love, just as
Christ loved us and gave Himself
up for us as a fragrant offering
and sacrifice to God.”
Golf Tournament Update
We are pleased to announce
that once all the final invoices
have been paid, and once we
have all the monies in, we
should actually surpass last
year’s $17,037.
Thank you, Zion Family!:
LCW Donations: Thanks to Zion’s generous support of our fund
raising activities, LCW donated a total of $725 in 2014 to the
following organizations: People of the Book Lutheran Outreach
(POBLO) Lutheran Association of Missionaries (LAMP), Garden of
Innocence, Fallbrook Pregnancy Resource Center, Zion Family
Assistance, Zion School Scholarship, Zion School Golf Tournament,
Concordia Seminary Scholarships - St. Louis and Ft. Wayne.
Mite Box Collection: When we give to the mite box program in
support of missions, our Father receives every single mite as a
fragrant sacrifice and offering! So far in 2014, Zion’s mite box
donations have totaled (will give you this number). By
comparison, last year at this time we had contributed $643.78.
As LWML begins 72 years of service, Esther Foster wrote the
following poem :
SEVENTY YEARS OF LWML
Seventy years have come and gone,
But LWML continues on
It got started by a faithful few
And with God’s help it grew and grew.
He fed us with His holy word. Talk of quitting was never heard.
We’re not a club as some might think,
For Christ’s living water we must drink
To keep ourselves pure of mind
And to each other be always kind.
We give our mites, we sing and pray,
And in God’s love we’ll surely stay.
Our mission grants are just a goal for saving yet another soul
In faraway places or very near. All creation is oh so dear.
When we meet Jesus face to face, our work is done.
I rest my case.
