Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church is a worshipping community of those who have found in Jesus Christ the answers to their questions of faith and life. We share a common ministry in our congregation, in the community in which we live and in the world around us. You will find us to be a warmly welcoming and sensitively caring community in Jesus' name.
50 Days of Prayer

Email Devotions from Pastor Whitlock


The Presiding Bishop of the ELCA has asked us all to be in prayer for the next 50 days for the upcoming Churchwide Assembly.

For each of the next seven weeks, we will be reflecting on the lessons the Churchwide Assembly will use in Worship for the 7 days of the Assembly. The first week's lessons are all about Holy Spirit. If you wish to receive these daily devotions from Pastor Whitlock in your email, please call the church office, and you will be added to the list.

You read the Devotions by visiting our DEVOTIONS page.

Would you like to sing your favorite hymns at church services?

In May, there will be a box in the Narthex where you can place the titles of your favorite hymn or hymns. During the summer the hymns will be scheduled for all the services.

Hymns should be in the box by May 31st so Brian can record them on the MIDI. This will be a perfect time for all to join in and sing our favorite hymns together.

Please put your name on your request in case there is a question about which tune.
