As we celebrate 125 years of ministry, we are excited at the renewal and growth of our main ministry, our Day School. We welcomed 40 new families to Zion last week at our back-to-school potluck! We expected 160 people to attend and were amazed that our estimate was far too low.
Many Lutheran schools are struggling with declining enrollment, as we were. This makes the blessing of seeing all those eager faces filling our hallways and classrooms all the more precious. Our school has come through some very difficult years, and has emerged with a new sense of purpose and determination to serve our mission.
Our congregation's catchphrase has long been "Zion, Blessed by the Lord." It is with heartfelt wonder that we now look back at the path that has brought us here, and how absolutely faithful to His promise God has been. We are, truly, blessed by the Lord.
