Bridge Builders Opportunities
We have two end of year opportunities for Bridge Builders. The first is the last chapel service of the year, where parents will be invited to attend (May 5th and 6th). The Second is the preschool’s final program where the children will sing songs for their parent (May 13th and 14th). These are great opportunities to connect with preschool parents!

Clarity and Care for Children with Gender Confusion 
Gender issues are everywhere in this post-Christian culture, creating confusion and chaos. My colleagues and I have the privilege and obligation of preparing the next generation of teachers to enter both Lutheran and public schools. Christian day school administrators, teachers and pastors are pleading for resources they can use with confidence. Through the years I have found much information on gender dysphoria, or the distress caused by misalignment of body and mind. This resource provides clarity in caring for children.

Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! 
This is a wonderful way to begin April as we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I encourage everyone to attend our Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter services as we reflect on His sacrifice and rejoice in His victory over the grave. 

Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! 

Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. John 11:25–26 

Mark your calendar for our first Voters Meeting of 2026, which will be held on April 26 between services. This meeting will provide an informational update to the congregation on the initiatives and activities of our Boards and Committees. 

Many exciting things are happening at Zion, and this is a great opportunity to hear from our leaders and ask questions. 

Congregational President, 
Bob Schmidt
