Time to clean out your garage, attic, basement???
Harvest of Hands is now accepting items in good condition for the White Elephant sale on November 7. All proceeds benefit the Buffalo Food Shelf and other world hunger organizations. Items can be dropped off at Zion Lutheran Church in Buffalo October 28 through November 7. (No electronics, bikes, furniture, exercise equipment, or clothes please. Clothes can be donated to the Blessing Closet at Zion every Wednesday.)


 

Holy Communion is a part of all worship services on the first Sunday of the month.

If you are attending the online worship service, we know you won’t have the exact same elements that we use when we are in worship in the sanctuary. Gather any variety or wine or fruit juice, and any kind of bread product.

If you are receiving communion at any worship service, please complete an electronic communion card.


Are you able to help serve communion? Sunday Worship Volunteers are needed! Please complete this form get on our volunteer list.  Form

 
WebpageSunday School


Sunday School is offered for age 3 to grade 5 during the 8:30 and 10:30 worship services.

Zion's Sunday School program follows a large group/small group model. Children will begin in worship with their families and then attend Sunday School after the Children's Message. When the children’s message is over, kids will gather for large group time to join in fun music, videos, activities, and skits to learn about the bible stories. After large group, kids will then follow their teachers to a classroom for small group time. Small group time is a time to dig deeper, ask questions, make crafts, do experiments, build friendships, and strengthen our relationship with God.

Storytime with Jesus is a social opportunity at Zion for families with young children.  This is for all caregivers and children at Zion and in the wider community.  In other words: you do not need to be a member to attend---all are welcome! 

The focus is on children learning through stories, songs, and play that Jesus loves them.  

When? 
First & third Tuesday of each month at 9:15 am to 10:30 am, in Trinity Hall. If you can’t be here by 9:15, come anyway!

9:15-9:30    Arrival.  Kids play and socialize.
9:30-9:45    Learn through song and movement. 
9:45-10:00   Storytime.
10:00-10:20  Fun activity, snack, socialize.
10:20-10:30  Clean up 

Families are welcome to join this new opportunity for a themed story time each month.  Caregivers are encouraged to socialize while the children learn and play together.   No registration required, just come and enjoy! 

~To tell the old, old story  Of Jesus and his love.~

Youth - High School


Confirmation for students in 6th - 8th grade will be held on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-7:45pm beginning October 7
  • All incoming 6th graders and new to confirmation students are being asked to register 
  • Those previously enrolled need not register again.


Confirmation isn’t just an academic process or a requirement for membership at Zion. It’s about forming Christ-followers. Confirmation at Zion is a carefully designed program – one that is designed to bring youth to a closer understanding of God’s Word, their savior Jesus Christ, and the Church as a whole.

New Member Orientation


You are invited to attend New Member Connect. This is for both those who are brand new to Zion and those who have been around for many years and just not gotten around to becoming an official member. 

Membership is one way of connecting to this faith community.  Membership affirms that we are connected together for the mission of this congregation and for the mutual development of our faith in Christ Jesus. “New Member Connect” is an opportunity to spend time in conversation with Zion pastors, staff, and others and to find out more about our mission and vision before committing to membership.

Gather in the Sacred Grounds youth room, where we will have a comfortable spot waiting for you! Children are welcome and the nursery is open and staffed during this time as well. Coffee, juice, and light breakfast choices will be provided.
