Lenten Schedule for 2025

Mar 17, 2025

Our Lenten theme is "The Hand of the Lord" from Concordia Publishing House
Whether tightening a bolt, crocheting, or typing on a computer, there is so much that we do with our hands. Our Creator has bestowed on us these amazing instruments, yet all things are the work of the hand of the Lord. Throughout our Lenten mid-week services we will explore the ways in which the hand of the Lord is both Law and Gospel, and how His hand has come to us in Jesus.

We’ll be reminded that the hand of Jesus has accomplished all that we need. Amazingly, He takes our manipulative, distorted, self-serving hands and restores them into useful hands for His purposes, both to literally use them in service and to make our whole lives into His instruments of witness, service, and praise.

Support the Seminarian - Sergiu Trifa

Mar 15, 2025

Support for Seminarian
Sergiu Trifa

Sergiu Trifa is a native Romanian currently in his second year at Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne, IN with the goal of becoming a Lutheran pastor. He's the son of Rev. Sorin-Horia Trifa, a Romanian pastor who works with the LCMS. His story is one of faith in action, most notably his mission work in Romania, where in 2022, he led thousands of Ukrainian refugees from their war torn communities to safety in Romania.

The cost associated with pursuing a seminary degree in Pastoral Studies is formidable, and sometimes a huge obstacle for students. Zion has designated special offerings and other financial support to assist this young man in his journey toward becoming a pastor, as part of our broader efforts to support the development of more full-time church workers for our Lutheran congregations!
