Second Saturday Contemporary Worship

Tonight, following the shopping and wrapping for the Angel Tree Project, we had the second contemporary worship service this parish has ever known. It was great to be a part of it. I never considered that I would enjoy a non-traditional worship service, but it was superb. The worship team was rockin', Pastor Fran's worship leadership was top notch, and we worshiped in an active and vital way that I have not seen since the last joint parish worship service. But what I am most enthusiastic about the Saturday night format is that we are seeing a whole group of people that we do not see Sunday mornings. This means that this service is a form of outreach and mission for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

I hope to see the monthly Saturday night worship services continue to grow. Despite snow and the busy days that precede the Christmas Holiday, the service draws more than 70 worshipers. Thanks to the leadership of Sandra and Bob Genisot and the musical gifts of some of our youth and adults, and the gift of the Holy Spirit, this service is a success!

Please join us at 5:00pm the second Saturday of each month at Zion Lutheran Chruch and be a part of this new experiment in worship as it unfolds. See you there.
