Worship and Holy Communion

Sunday Mornings at 9 a.m.      We warmly welcome and invite all visitors to come and hear the wonderful Gospel of Christ proclaimed. However, due to the divisions in Christianity today, we cannot invite everyone to the Lord's Table. Along with the Christian Church of all times and in accordance with Scripture, we at Zion practice Closed Communion. This means we normally commune only active members of Zion in good standing and those guests who are active members in good standing of another confessional Lutheran congregation in our fellowship. We do ask ALL GUESTS to talk to our pastor before coming up for communion, either by phone, email, or at least 10 min. before the worship service begins.      If you would like to learn more about the doctrine and practice of Holy Communion, or about anything else that Lutherans believe, teach and confess, please contact Pastor Stark during the week. You may also read about Closed Communion and Liturgical Worship on our Resources page. It is our hope, and the hope of Christ, that divisions cease and that we can all enjoy fellowship together.       We currently offer Holy Communion every Sunday and on other festivals in both common and individual cups.      We use the Lutheran Service Book by Concordia Publishing House for our liturgy and hymnody.
