In 2010 the famous Oberammergau Passion play is going to be performed once again. Going back to a vow made in 1634, it is put on stage every 10 years. We will look at its history, form, and the discussions it has sparked; and will examine other ways people have found to bring the Passion of Christ alive through the centuries.

ADULT FORUM/SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASS

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

SUNDAY SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN  Three classes accommodate the learning needs of various age groups. Children meet in the Sunday School Room at 10:15 a.m. for opening devotions before separating into different cubicles for their lessons with their designated teachers.
The teachers remain anxious to engage with Zion's children.  Just remember that our children are not able to walk to Zion by themselves; they MUST depend on the adults in their lives to bring them to the house of the Lord. 

THE ADULT FORUM
This January, the group has embarked on a study of THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES facilitated by Bonnie Brobst. ACTS is Luke's extended description of the nature and purpose of the Christian church in all times and among all peoples. If we desire to know what the church is for, where its power and direction come from, and how to be the church today, ACTS is the book to study!

Music Director John Heizer

CELEBRATE 35 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO WORSHIP AND MUSIC AT ZION CHURCH  

As we rejoice in our musical praise to the Lord at Zion, we are grateful to our Music Director, John Heizer, for his dedication to the fine music in worship that we treasure so much.  This year marks John’s anniversary of 35 years at Zion Church as organist and choir director.  We extend our gratitude and appreciation to John for his loyal service!  As our organist, John has played and devotedly cared for Zion’s ailing organ longer than any of his predecessors.  Many of you are aware that Zion’s organ, after 50 years of service, is in need of costly restoration.  What a wonderful tribute it would be to commemorate John’s 35th anniversary by making a contribution to the Zion Organ Fund!  It is our hope that the Zion tradition of great music will continue through your financial support. 

Church member, scholar and author Dr. Eric Gritsch presents his newest books:

Toxic Spirituality

"Professor Heussi? I Thought You Were a Book" A Memoir of Memorable Theological Educators, 1950–2009
The Boy From the Burgenland
Toxic Spirituality: Four Enduring Temptations of Christian Faith
