140th Anniversary

Zion Lutheran Church

 

Zion Lutheran Church has reached a milestone in 2010 to recognize and celebrate 140 years since it was founded.  This makes Zion among the oldest churches in Washington County.

 

 

 A History of Zion was on display with pictures, albums, relics, etc.      

 

A brief history of Zion :  In May of 1870 in the Zionsville Community, the four founding fathers, Henry Hafer, Wm. Lehde, G. Krueger, and John Steck called a meeting to discuss details of organizing and selecting a site for a new church.  The first pastor was William Pfenning who served from January 29, 1871 to January 10, 1875. 

 

This is the day the Lord has made;

We will rejoice and be glad in it.    Psalm 118:24

(theme for 25th Anniversary)

 

 

We, as a church, continue to praise God for all His blessings.
