Plan to attend the Zion Lutheran School Auction, to be held at Old Hickory Golf Club on April 15, 2016.

It is a great night to celebrate Zion and raise money for our school.  It would be fantastic to see many first grade parents attend.  Be looking for our class item in the upcoming blogs. 

This week we learned about the Miraculous Catch of Fish.

Jesus called Peter to be a Fisher of Men.

Jesus calls us also to be Fishers of Men.

May we catch others with Jesus love as we serve them and tell them about our Savior.

I so enjoyed worshipping with you last Saturday.  It is a joy to hear the first graders sing praises.

May you make worship a family priority this weekend!

In HIM,
