Zion Lutheran Adult Activities are about learning, serving, and fellowship.
At Zion Lutheran Church, you will be encouraged and nurtured in our small group activities for adults, as well as in Sunday worship. We invite you to try out some of our many opportunities available. Newcomers are always welcome! Please call the church office or check the church calendar (under the “Resources” tab) to find out more information about these activities.
Learning groups
- Adult Sunday School: from September through May, we meet after the worship service to study scripture and what it means for our lives today.
- Bible Studies: September through May/June, Zion has two week-day Bible studies. One meets two Wednesday mornings each month and the other meets two Thursday mornings each month. Bible Study Challenge to read through the Bible this year. Lead by Pastor Kelly, meets Mondays at 1:00
- Thirsty Theologians: This group meets once each month at various locations to share dinner and discuss Bible-based topics and Lutheran perspectives.
- Men’s ministry group: Usually meets on the first and third Sunday afternoons each month at 3:30 in the Faith Cafe.
Serving groups
- Vine Maple Place: Zion prepares and delivers dinner for 30 clients attending classes each Thursday, and regularly contributes personal hygiene items for their Care Closet and assembles ‘meals-in-a-bag’ – all to support their programs that aim to end homelessness in our community.
- Mission quilting: From January through April, this group gathers to sew and assemble quilts that are donated to Lutheran World Relief. If you can tie a knot, we would love to have you!
- Ruth-Rachel circle: This women’s group meets regularly for Bible study, service, and fellowship. Each year they assemble over 100 health kits to donate to Lutheran World Relief, and they send cards and notes to our shut-in members.
- Corner of Love: Serving Nicaraguan refugees that have escaped the brutal dictatorship in that country and are temporarily residing in Costa Rica. Zion sends a team to work with Corner of Love for a week each winter, and collects supplies through the year.
Fellowship groups
- Julefest: Crafters begin working in June to prepare for the Zion Lutheran Church Women’s annual holiday bazaar called “Julefest”. A Scandinavian celebration, Julefest is held on the first Saturday of November. Additional hands and ideas are always welcome!
- Stitching and Hardanger: Bring a project you are working on and join other stitchers for lively fellowship (and maybe even pick up a new tip or two!)
