Zion Lutheran Church Diggins, Missouri Richard Peckman, Vacancy Pastor 620-252-9078 [email protected] Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost September 7, 2025 WE WELCOME YOU TO GOD'S HOUSE on this Lord's Day. "Our Lord serves us today through His holy Word and Sacraments. Through these means, He comes among us to deliver His forgiveness, freeing us from our sins and strengthening us for service to one another and to the world. At Holy Baptism, He puts His name upon us, pours His Holy Spirit into our hearts, and rescues us from sin, death, and the devil. Through Holy Absolution, He pronounces His forgiveness again and again. With His Holy Word, written in Scripture and preached into our ears, He daily proclaims His abiding love for us through all the joys and sorrows of life in this world. In His Holy Supper, He gives us His own body and blood to eat and drink as a priceless gift to nourish and strengthen us in body and soul." Lutheran Service Book, Introduction, viii (Read the entire introduction.) SUNDAY MORNING BIBLE CLASS, 9:30 a.m. We're studying the Gospel of Mark.
