Message from our Pastor, Kai Buck 

Greetings Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
It is with great joy that I have officially begun serving Zion Lutheran as your
pastor. I am excited for the new prospects and opportunities for service that the
Lord has and will place before all of us in the months and years to come.
At the same time, the work of the Kingdom of God remains much the same.
I am glad to serve you as we all strive to proclaim the gospel of the grace of
God. Zion Lutheran is a family, and God has brought us together at this time and
in this place to grow in our Lord Jesus Christ and to serve Him together as a
congregation. As we head into September all too quickly, I would ask that you
keep me in your prayers just as I daily pray for each of you. As we are one body
in Christ, let us move together in grace and joy.
I look forward to meeting and knowing everyone in the days to come.
Your servant in Christ,
Pastor Buck
