”The Dig” is a multi-layered game with hidden twists and unexpected turns. With every clue you solve and every secret you reveal, you peel back another layer of the story. Can you solve the mystery and escape?
“The Agency” — You’ve been selected for a top-secret mission. After gathering together you get your top secret assignment. You must complete this mission in one hour or you are relieved of duty. Believe us when we say no international man of mystery wants to be relieved of duty.

Mike Wallace is now a Second-year Seminarian at Concordia St. Louis
My journey to the seminary is one that could take hours to fully explain, filled with twists, challenges, and moments of deep discernment. But one thing is certain—it is a journey that has not been traveled alone. You have been a part of it.
The rising cost of higher education made obtaining my undergraduate de-gree a significant financial challenge. While I have made it this far by the grace of God, the weight of that burden is still very real. That is why your generosity has meant so much. It has not only helped ease that financial strain, but it has also reaffirmed my calling and given me the opportunity to continue pursuing this path. Without you, I would not be here today. Your kind support has been a tangible expression of God’s provision in my life, and for that, I am profoundly grateful. My hope is that one day, I will be able to extend the same generosity to others that you have shown to me.

It’s time for our first Voter's Informational Meeting of 2025!
We will meet on:
Sunday, April 27, at 9:15 AM in the Fellowship Hall (between the 8:00 and 10:30 services)
The focus of this meeting will be to share updates on first-quarter activities and discuss what’s ahead for Zion.
We’ve scheduled the meeting at this time to encourage member participation from both services, providing an opportunity for everyone to come together in fellowship. As I mentioned before, we encourage each of you to stay involved, share your ideas, and actively participate in the life of the church. Your unique gifts and perspectives are invaluable, and together, we can continue to make Zion a place where faith is nurtured, love is shared, and our community is strengthened.
