What an incredible worship this past two weekends as Zion celebrated Reformation and All Saints Day. It is an awesome experience when God's Word touches your heart and His Sacrament cleanses your soul. Worship was enhanced by piano, organ, trumpets, tympani, and choirs. Pastor Rouland's sermon reminded us this was not a day to celebrate Martin Luther, but Jesus Christ and the free gift of salvation that is for everyone! Pastor Reitz's sermon reminded us of how we are saints now and will receive the full blessings of the saints in eternity. A link to Zion's sermons is found on the church website if you want to hear the message again.
Following the church calendar, our new religion unit is focusing on the Reformation. Students have been amazed at the false teachings that had infiltrated the church in the 1400's. We see through Luther's discoveries that scripture gives us the truth about our Savior. We are using appropriate clips from the movie Luther to help students see the historic context of the time as well as how God used the Reformation was to change people's hearts and bring them back to the truth of His grace.
