Having been saved by God's grace through faith in Christ, I feel led by the Holy Spirit to help Zion become a healthy congregation by honoring the covenant God made with me in Holy Baptism. This means that I will live among God's faithful people; hear the Word and share in holy communion; proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed; serve all people, following the example of our Lord Jesus; strive for justice and peace in all the earth.
