NEXT SERVICES

Through January 17, 2021, we will have OUTSIDE WORSHIP at Zion from
10:15-10:45am. If there is inclement weather we will still have "curbside" distribution of Holy Communion by the elevator door on Elm Street. We have added Curb-side distribution from 10:45 - 11:15 for those that prefer to take communion at home. 

​

THE SERVICE WILL BE SIMPLE:

• A verse or two of a hymn or song

• Confession and Absolution (ex corde)

• The Gospel reading

• A very brief sermon

• Distribution of Holy Communion

• Benediction

• Closing hymn of song

​

You will need to bring your own chair, or stand, for the service. You may park on 1st Avenue by the church yard, or on Elm Street by the yard, and stay in your car for the service as well. We thank the Westwood police for providing us with orange cones to close the street during the service. You may park next to the school where the curb is painted yellow during the service. We ask that you do not park in the middle of the street.

​

Frequently our winters are fairly mild, we should be able to do this, you may need to bundle up.

​

I have made this pastoral decision based on the knowledge I have gathered about the indoor spread of the virus, the new strain now in the U.S., the anticipated
post-Christmas "spike" and the current strain on our local hospitals. I did consult our Ad Board on this, but I reserved the right of the decision to rest solely on me.

​

After January 17th, I will review, consult our Board, and plan for our next phase.

In Christ, Pastor Pranschke
