Chrismons at Zion

You may notice that the Christmas tree at Zion looks a little different this year. This year the tree will be

decorated with Chrismons. What are Chrismons? The word is a combination of the words "Christ" and "Monogram", so Chrismons are signs and symbols of our Lord Jesus Christ. They are always white – symbolizing the innocence, purity and perfection of our Savior; and gold – a symbol for the glory and majesty of God and the Son of God.

Some Zion members have been hard at work making Chrismons using beads and styrofoam. We plan to have Chrismon workshops throughout 2023 and will be using many different materials, including Styrofoam and felt. Our goal is to make enough Chrismons to fill Zion's Christmas tree in the years to come. If you are interested in making Chrismons, please talk to Tracey Harris or Tracey Johnson.

Zion Lutheran Church
The heart and soul of our worship is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe God comes to us in worship to forgive our sins, strengthen our faith, and equip us for the challenges and opportunities for the week ahead. Our worship times are 8:00 and 10:30 on Sunday mornings with a Bible Study for adults and Sunday School for children of all ages at 9:30. The Lord’s Supper is celebrated at both services every week. Sunday morning worship is the highlight of the week at Zion Lutheran Church!!! We hope you will be able to join us! Each Wednesday this year (2014), we also have a 7:00 p.m. service. This service is shorter than our weekend service, in order to accommodate families with young children. If you have any questions about our worship, please e-mail or call our Pastor: pastor@zlcb.org 412-667-0967
