Just northwest of Pittsburgh lies the town of Ambridge, Penn. Known more recently for its namesake, The American Bridge Company, the town’s main claim to fame and history goes back much further — 200 years back — when an immigrant German religious group known as the Harmony Society (with members known as Harmonists) founded the village of Ökonomie (Economy) in 1824.
The church that the Harmonists and their leader, Georg Rapp, built between 1828 and 1831 as the focal point of their communal life still stands today. On Sunday, Aug. 18, St. John’s Lutheran Church of Ambridge, the congregation that has called that nearly 200-year-old church its home since 1912, was received into fellowship with The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS).

President’s Perspective by Bob Schmidt
I am honored and humbled to be elected as the new President of our congregation. As I take on this role, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Paul Klemash, who has led us with grace, wisdom, and dedication over the past six years. His tireless efforts and faithful leadership have left an indelible mark on our church, and I know I speak for many when I say how truly blessed we’ve been to have him at the helm. Let us keep him in our prayers as he steps into a new chapter of his service within our church community.

Each service at Zion Lutheran Church (normally the first of our two Sunday services) is streamed LIVE on our YouTube channel. These streams are for Sunday’s, Wednesday’s, Lenten, Advent, and special services. The entire service is streamed from beginning-to-end. Weddings and Funerals can also be streamed, if requested in advance.
This audio-only file includes all the readings from scripture, along with the sermon — and when available, the announcements, adult choir, men’s choir, and/or bell choir. Also posted along with the audio file is the text for all the scripture readings, and a link to the current bulletin, and our YouTube channel if you prefer to watch the LIVE Stream.
Download/view the latest bulletin. It’s filled with our hymns, the order of service, all the readings from scripture, prayer requests for family & friends, service participants, communion statement, about our worship, the schedule of events for this coming weeks, along with announcements, news updates, happenings, and more!
Sunday School News
An infant/toddler Sunday School class began in January for children under the age of 3. It's being taught by Deaconess Joanna Lee. A parent is encouraged to attend the class with their child. It's amazing how much of the Word these children can absorb even when they seem to be playing! Please join them in Room 207 in the Preschool at 9:15 am.
Our Sunday School Teachers spend much time and effort throughout the week to ensure we engage our students with meaningful lessons from God's Word. These lessons teach the love of God in Jesus, and share how God's love touches kids' lives each day. You can support the efforts of our Sunday school team by bringing your children -- ages toddler through 6th grade -- to Sunday school every week to learn from God's Holy Word! Classes start at 9:15 am in the Preschool.

THANK YOU!
On behalf of my entire family, thank you for your cards, gifts, and prayers, both at Christmas and during my recent surgery. We are so grateful that God has called me here to serve Zion, and we thank Him for you always!
