Dear Members & Friends of Zion,
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. -Ephesians 5:2 ESV

JESUS
HE CAME NOT TO A THRONE, but to a manger.
HE LIVED NOT AS A KING, but as a servant.
HE CHOSE NOT A KINGDOM, but a cross.
HE GAVE NOT JUST A LITTLE, but everything.
- Holley Gerth

As we begin the season of Advent on December 3, we enter a time of preparing to celebrate our Savior’s birth and of awaiting His return in glory. In this time of anticipation, we are strengthened by what Jesus has already accomplished for us on the cross – where He gave everything. Through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, we receive grace and hope knowing we are forever in God’s loving care. We all experience changes on our earthly pilgrimage. Yet through all the twists and turns, we are not alone. Our Savior is with us. God provides rest and comfort along the way; often in surprising, small and meaningful, ways. Christ is especially present with us in His Body on earth – the church. As beloved children of God, adopted in baptism, we are part of a global Christian family; sisters and brothers in the Lord lending a helping hand, a listening ear and praying for one another.

May we follow our Savior’s example walking in love and serving our neighbors this Advent, Christmas, and all year long.

In Christ’s Service,
Pastor Karin Pejack
