Trustee News
Have you ever wondered what the Board of Trustees does? In the simplest terms, we manage and maintain all church property. Whether it’s fixing a broken window, looking for ways to save on utility bills, hiring contractors, weeding a planting bed, or painting a classroom, we do what’s needed to keep our property in good condition. At times, that can seem like a daunting task, given the age of our buildings and the amount of wear and tear they ex-perience. Thankfully, we have a dedicated Board that unselfishly shares its time and talents with our congregation to accomplish this important work. And, just as importantly, we have a generous congregation that supports our work with gifts of time, talent, and finances.
Last year, the Trustees identified over one hundred maintenance and repair tasks that needed to be done in the church, preschool, and parsonage and we were able to complete more than half of them. Here are some of the biggest ones …

Focus on Fellowship
Zion hosted its first Prayer Breakfast on Saturday, January 18th in partnership with The Still Remembered Project (TSRP). More than 45 attendees from Zion, local LCMS churches and the community came together to pray and learn more about this local, faith-based organization that ministers to those who have experienced the loss of a child through miscarriage or stillbirth.
After a delicious breakfast, attendees heard from Amanda Parker, Vice Chair of TSRP. She shared her families’ personal journey through loss, then discussed the variety of ways the group supports women, and men, struggling with miscarriage or infertility. Following a Q&A session, Pastor led prayers for those impacted by infant loss and for the ministry of TSRP.
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.

‘Unbelievable’ loss: Historic First Lutheran finds strength in God, church
LOS ANGELES – On Jan. 7, a wildfire broke out in the foothills of Angeles National Forest, just north of Altadena, Calif. The Santa Ana winds, blowing at record speeds, rapidly spread the flames. Within hours, entire neighborhoods in Altadena were ablaze.
The Eaton fire would become the second most destructive wildfire in California history, burning over 9,000 structures and displacing tens of thousands of people. Together with the Palisades fire, which began on the same day 30 miles to the southwest, the two wildfires would burn nearly 60 square miles and leave 29 people dead.
As of Feb. 1, almost a month after they began, the Eaton fire and the Palisades fire are both 100% contained.
