This year's feast included a number of Egg Bake varieties (including Vegetable, Bacon, Sausage, and Cheese combos, as well as Gluten-Free Bakes and a yummy new addition...French Toast Bakes!). Rounding out the menu: French Toast Sticks, Fresh Fruit Salads, and homemade Cinnamon Rolls, Scones, and Coffee Cake with juice and coffee. All are welcome each year to share in this celebration of the Resurrection of Our Savior Jesus Christ!
Lovely fresh flowers and table crosses proclaim: "He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! Alleluia!"

Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed. Hallelujah!
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.

Our Lenten theme is "The Hand of the Lord" from Concordia Publishing House
Whether tightening a bolt, crocheting, or typing on a computer, there is so much that we do with our hands. Our Creator has bestowed on us these amazing instruments, yet all things are the work of the hand of the Lord. Throughout our Lenten mid-week services we will explore the ways in which the hand of the Lord is both Law and Gospel, and how His hand has come to us in Jesus.
We’ll be reminded that the hand of Jesus has accomplished all that we need. Amazingly, He takes our manipulative, distorted, self-serving hands and restores them into useful hands for His purposes, both to literally use them in service and to make our whole lives into His instruments of witness, service, and praise.
Funeral Arrangements for our sister in Christ Florence Boehme are as follows:
Visitation -- Monday, March 17, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Paul Henney Funeral Home, 5570 Library Rd, Bethel Park 15102.
