Every Sunday morning for all ages
9:00 am - 9:50 am
Everyone welcome!
Adult Bible Class meets in the Zion fellowship hall.
Youth Sunday School meets in Vicar's office/Zion gym.
Children's Sunday School meets in appropriate classrooms.
Sunday School classes for all ages, including high school youth and adults, will resume beginning on Sunday, September 8th, at our usual time of 9:00AM to 9:50AM every Sunday morning, unless otherwise announced. If families are considering Sunday School classes for their students for this year, please take some time to fill out a registration sheet, found in the church office and narthex, and then return them to Mr. J, or the church office, at your earliest opportunity. Each week, students should start in the Zion Lutheran Church gym and wait for their teacher to take them to their classroom.
This year, Kathy Tinker will be teaching the Pre-School through Kindergarten class, Kathy Test will be teaching the 1st through 3rd grade class, Claudia Riggert will be teaching the 4th through 6th grade class, and Mr. Jareske will be teaching the 7th through 12th grade class.
With that in mind, we are currently looking for several substitute teachers to assist in the event of teacher absences. If you are interested in helping with Sunday School during this year, or you would just like to inquire at this point, please let Mr. Jareske know, as soon as possible.
Otherwise, going into this new school year, please consider making Sunday School classes part of your weekly routine.
Recently, Mr. J and his students have been reviewing a broad summary of the early biblical accounts that we all grew up learning, just a little more deeply.
Our new vicar, Vicar Jacob Friedrich, will be teaching the Adult Bible class, and this group will be focusing on the Book of John.
Currently our Fusion Youth Group is a time for 7th through 12th grade students to gather, hear God's Word, discuss life, pray together, and have a good time with other Christian youth students.
For Youth Group, we typically meet on a scheduled Sunday, typically, from 5:00PM to 8:00PM in the Zion Lutheran Church gym. Check our updates below to find out more information about our next meeting.
In addition to our regular monthly meetings, we try to schedule, at least, one special event or activity each month, along with fundraisers, service projects, and other opportunities. More information about when these types of events will be taking place is featured below.
If you haven't visited before, consider joining us for our next adventure!
Our next regular Fusion Youth Group meeting for 7th through 12th grade youth students will take place in May, likely from 5PM to 8PM, at Zion Lutheran Church.
If you are considering joining us for the fun, consider bringing a friend along as well! A meal will be served, and no money is needed for these meetings.
