Rev. Dr. Michael Foss to Speak at Zion
August 23, 2010 — Angela
Rev. Dr. Michael Foss
Many members of the congregation are currently reading the book Power Surge, written by Pastor Foss when he was serving as senior pastor of Prince of Peace in Burnsville, Minnesota. Pastor Foss now serves at St. Mark Lutheran Church in West Des Moines, Iowa, and will be joining us at Zion on September 26 for two special events.
In the morning, Pastor Foss will be preaching at each worship service. His sermon will focus on the gifts and resources already present in the Zion community. The 8:30 and 10:30 services will also include special music from the Senior Choir, Joyful Ringers, and the Jubilee Worship Team.
In the evening, Pastor Foss will be the guest speaker at the first of five congregational gatherings that will help reveal the gifts, interests and passions of the people of Zion in preparation for the work of the Visioning Task Force in 2011. Additional congregational gatherings will be held in October, and all members are encouraged to participate in one of them.
Stop by the website, information desk, or the “A Promising Tomorrow” booth at the September 12 Ministry Fair to reserve your place at one of these gatherings.

Mondays at Marysville
June 20, 2010 — AngelaDuring June, July & August services are held each Monday evening at 7pm at the Historic Marysville Church, on County Road 9 between Buffalo and Waverly.
The Swedesburg (AKA Marysville) Church was organized by Pastor Nelson in February 1873. The same pastors served the Swedesburg and Carlslund (later know as Zion) congregations until Swedesburg disbanded in 1950 and the members joined Zion. In 1973 the building was restored to celebrate the centennial of Swedesburg, and Monday evening summer services commenced at that time.
Marysville is just a short 10-15 minute drive from downtown Buffalo. From the stoplights by the courthouse/library, head west on Lake Blvd N/CR 35. After 3 miles turn left and follow CR 35/CR 9. After 1.8 miles turn left and continue on CR 9. Marysville is a further 2.5 miles on the right. Remember that this is a little country church with no modern amenities.
