As we enter Holy Week (4/27)

It has been a full week of achievement tests, end of the research paper, birthday celebrations, poetry, 

and studying the Passion Week.  I applaud this group for working hard on testing and showing courtesy

 to others so all can achieve our best.  Not only can standardized testing show strengths and areas for 

growth for individuals, it helps Zion make decisions on how we may best shape how we teach. 

We have been following Jesus on the walk to the cross in our Bible studies in Religion.  I encourage

 you to be part of these special worship services with your families this coming week.  

On Palm Sunday, we see Jesus declaring himself not only our King, but the promised Messiah. 

On Maundy Thursday we see the remarkable transformation of the Passover into Holy Communion

 - Jesus himself became our saving Lamb of sacrifice.   LIVING LAST SUPPER drama at Zion's

 worship.

Honor the Good Friday on which Christ died for our sins and the temple veil was torn in two - the

 separation that sin had caused between us and our Lord is no more.  

And finally the glorious day of resurrection, EASTER, when we celebrate our victory in Christ

 over sin, death and the devil.  There is nothing we could ever do to deserve this love.  What a 

wonderful opportunity we have before us to learn and grow in our faith - to praise and thank God

 for this glorious gift!!,
