16th Sunday After Pentecost

Welcome to Rally Sunday!  Today, we celebrate the start of the 2024-25 activity year here at Zion Lutheran Church. Each week we rally around the Word of God and Holy Communion. We listen together as the lessons are read. We listen together as sermons are preached, as songs are sung and anthems soar. We rally around the love that God has for each of us and the lengths to which He will go to seek us out, to save us, to make a place for us, to celebrate with us! Let’s Rally Together to be a presence of Christ in the world today!

Today, we begin a new series of answering the question every week of “Who is Jesus?” Our first focus for today to help us answer the question is “A Welcome Truth.” Jesus and His disciples visit the home of sisters Mary and Martha. Mary sits at the Lord’s feet to hear His words. Martha, busy with meal preparations, asks Jesus to tell Mary to help. Instead, Jesus gently tells Martha that Mary has chosen the more important thing.
