John and ElsieCook will celebrate 70 years of marriage onAugust 3rd. Congratulations John & Elsie!
Seven collegestudents from Zion each received $550.00 offinancial support toward their academicexpenses.
This came from the New Jersey Synodthrough The Karl, John, Elizabeth WurffelCollege Loan/Grant Fund. Congratulationsto all!
DID YOU KNOW… That LutheranCrossings in Moorestown is always on thelookout for unused greeting cards to provide toits residents? If you have any new specialoccasion cards (birthdays, get well, sympathy,Christmas, etc.) that you would like to donate,a special box is available in the WelcomeRoom to drop them off. Janice Thompson andCarlie Leusner will deliver the cards when theyattend the next Crossings monthly meeting.This will be an ongoing project so, in thefuture, if you receive promotional cards in themail from various charities and are not goingto use them personally, please considerdonating them.
“DID YOU KNOW…”In the August issue of Stewardship are
the following words: “God asks only that welove him. We love him by giving ofourselves totally. Giving of ourselves is theway we have of demonstrating our love foranother human being. It is also the onlyway we can demonstrate our love for God.Words alone mean very little.” Olderworshipers here may remember a lovesong that has the words: “All of me, why nottake all of me? Can't you see, I'm no goodwithout you.”
Well, those are words we should say toGod. Good stewards will certainly offer theirlives totally for God to use as God wishes touse them. We often pray the Lord's Prayerand say, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will bedone on earth as it is in Heaven.” How doyou think that will ever become a reality?Surely it will be when God's servants takeseriously what we pray for. When we are allsincere Christians and offer to God our livesin totality; willing people striving for God'sKingdom to be a reality on earth; workingservants of God, saying to the Lord, “Lord,use me. Use my brain, use my energy, usemy talents, use my resources, and use myconsent to be a Kingdom of God person.”
It would help the cause of the Kingdom ofGod if we each answered as the prophetIsaiah did when he heard the voice of theLord ask, “Whom shall I send, and who willgo for us?” Isaiah answered: “Here am I;send me.” (Isaiah 6:8) And he was used.Used mightily, wonderfully, completely, onemight say. He was a true servant, a trueservant of the Lord.
Dear Lord, we comehumbly into your presence. We seek toknow your will for each of us. We need toknow what you desire for us to do as yourservants. We then need to have the will andthe power to fulfill the mission you have foreach of us. We ask this in the name ofJesus our Lord and Savior.
Let us pray:
Amen

MARCH 6 – 15, 2017An interesting legend is associated with
the painting “The Last Supper.” Some sayLeonardo da Vinci used a rival's face forJudas. Then when the painter tried tocreate Jesus' face, all he could see wasthat of his enemy. Supposedly, da Vinci wasable to complete Jesus' face — and theentire masterpiece — only after makingpeace with his enemy and repainting Judas.
This tale shows the necessity offorgiving other people so we can acceptJesus' forgiveness for ourselves. As Jesussays in Matthew 6:14-15 (NIV), “For if youforgive other people when they sin againstyou, your heavenly Father will also forgiveyou. But if you do not forgive others theirsins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
