Dear Members & Friends of Zion,

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. - Ecclesiastes 3:1

[Jesus said] “And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:20

The changing of seasons from summer to fall can inspire us to reflect upon seasons in our lives of faith and our life together as the congregation of Zion Lutheran Church. As we examine our journeys, we may identify times of joy and struggle; changes for which we planned and changes that may have come upon us due to situations around us. We may look back on an earlier time of hardship and now see how God was shepherding us, even though we may not have felt His presence at the time. Perhaps the period of challenge brought understanding and growth in our journey with the Savior.

As we begin a new season of programs and events this fall, I invite us to explore the current and future seasons of our church family of Zion. The following questions may spark reflection:

What exciting thing has God done in the midst of Zion in the last year?
Where may Zion be experiencing fear or concern?
What is your dream for Zion?

There will be opportunities to share responses at the Sunday School session on Rally Day, and I encourage us to have informal prayerful conversation with each other. May the Holy Spirit grant wisdom and courage to us as we pray for future direction. May we give thanks for the many ways in which God has blessed and continues to bless our life together in Jesus here in Harrisburg.

O most loving Father, you want us to give thanks for all things, to fear nothing except losing you, and to lay all our cares on you, knowing that you care for us. Protect us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, and grant that no clouds in this mortal life may hide from us the light of your immortal love shown to us in your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (LBW 47)

In the hope, peace, joy, and love of Christ,
Pastor Karin
