ANNOUNCEMENTS
February 5, 2012
SERVICE OPPORTUNITES/SIGN UP SHEETS
Souper Bowl of Caring has become a powerful movement that is transforming the time around Super Bowl weekend into the nation's largest celebration of giving and serving. Be part of this movement that is sharing God's love with those in need. Please give generously on Super Bowl Sunday. Every dollar donated goes to our local food shelf. Look for the big Soup Pot in the Sanctuary.
WHAT WILL YOU ADD? Lent is quickly approaching and many folks are looking forward to Friday night fish and giving up that beloved "something." This year I'm suggesting that you add something to celebrate Lent instead. Think about it. Can you add more time reading the Bible? How about adding table grace at every meal? Reading a Bible Story to the young ones? Joining or starting a Bible Study? Giving up something is good, but adding something is better. Let me know what you decide.
PLAY DATE! Tuesday 2/7 Zion Lutheran Church invites you and your small children to come to church for a Play Date. We'll meet once a month on the first Tuesday from 10am to noon and be open to folks wanting to meet more often. Come join the fun!!! If you think you may be attending, call the office, 715-398-3663, or send an email, churchoffice @zionsuperior.org.
LOGOS Sunday is back! On Sunday February 12th we are turning both the 9:00 and 11:00 am worship service over to our young folks and their mentors. Expect great music, drama, and clowns. Yes clowns. Pass the word and come and support our young people as they lead us in worship of our Lord.
BAPTISMS TODAY: Starr Lynne Jean Wicklund and her sister Mykayla Rose Wicklund were baptized at the 11:00 service. Starr and Mykayla are the daughters of Lance and Jennifer Wicklund. Sponsors are Linda McGaff and Ian Falgout.
NEXT SUNDAY is SWEET ROLL SUNDAY & FOOD SHELF SUNDAY.
MISSION "BUCK-IT" will be the 19th of Feb. Proceeds from the Mission "Buck-it" for the next two months will go towards Living Water Church in Cameron. Living Water Church has asked for help from each congregation in the Synod to help purchase land. The Zion Church Council has voted to use the Mission "Buck it" proceeds from January, February and March to aid Living Water Church in their land purchase. So far we have $66.00 of the $250.00 goal.
