God says, “I have called you by your name; you are mine.” Isaiah 43:1

This is one of my favorite verses.  What comfort to know 

that through baptism we belong to God.  He know everything about us.

God promises to always love us, forgive us, give us life and be with us.

SINGING AT CHAPEL:  JANUARY 29 at 10:45 Pastor Hoehner has invited us to attend Sunday School and Bible Study at Chapel of the Cross before we sing.  These begin at 9:25 in the basement multi purpose room.  We will meet in the basement at 10:30 to warm up.  The class will be singing a preservice piece and 2 songs during the service.  Thank you for making it possible for us to sing at this church.

If you like chili and hotdogs and are looking for an easy lunch after the class sings at Chapel of the Cross simply drive to Lutheran High for their Chili Dinner.  You could get a meal and a tour of LHS!!

One more thing on Sunday January 29...at 6:00 Zion is hosting RED LETTER JESUS.  This looks to be an interesting performance.  If you would like more information visit www.gospelofjohn.com


HELP NEEDED:
- Please fill out the Highlight form so that the class can get free stuff.  Remember all I need is a signature!
- We are in need of more pencils!  If you have some please send them in.

BOOK ORDERS:  If you are interested in ordering books please order on line by January 27.

This week in the Friday folders we are giving you an invitation.  This is an invitation for you to give to someone else to our Zion School OPEN HOUSE.  Please tell your friends about Zion and invite them to come to our OPEN HOUSE on February 12, 12:00-3.  Let them see the wonderful family your child has here at Zion and share with them the excellent education Zion provides.  Word of mouth is the best advertising we can do!

It was great seeing the DADS this Wednesday.  As Pastor Reitz told us at chapel, DADS have an important job, more than being the enforcer DADS are the spiritual leader of the household.  It is interesting that the biggest influence for children to stay active in church as adults is if their dad's sing in church.  So DADS I look forward to seeing you and hearing you this Sunday!

Enjoy the pictures from Donuts with Dads!

In HIM,
