Dear Zion Families:

Due to the unknown scope and spread of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), we are taking a proactive approach in mitigating the risk to the members and visitors of Zion Lutheran Church. We have decided to make interim changes to the way we gather and worship at Zion. In following the lead of Minot Public Schools, we are cancelling church school until further notice. The CDC is recommending no large gatherings, so with deliberation and contemplation, we have decided to not hold church services in person. We are planning to continue worship via streaming on the internet and more information on that will follow. The health and safety of our members is of the utmost importance and these decisions were not made in haste, but rather in thoughtful prayer and consideration. If you are in need of pastoral care please contact the church by phone. Also, please check our website for resources and updates. I pray this finds each of you healthy and well! May we listen to Jesus' calling as we care for our neighbors and ourselves in these times of great uncertainty.

God's Blessings,

Kristi Burgess, President

Dear Zion members and visitors,

As we're sure you are aware at the time of this letter, there has been a confirmed case of COVID-19 in Ward County. At Zion we take the health and welfare of our church family seriously. We are making some adjustments to elements of our weekend services, but at this point, we are not canceling services. We understand that the uncertainty of the Corona Virus is creating anxiety in our workplace, schools and day to day activities. We do not respond out of fear but rather out of love and care for the safety and well-being for the community. Please be mindful of the guidance from the State Health Department that if you have any symptoms or flu like symptoms, if you have a compromised immune system, or are in the at-risk age group (60+) take necessary precautions and avoid group gatherings.

In Psalm 46, we are reminded that it is God who is our refuge and strength, and our ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, let us not fear, but with confidence use this opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus through our prayers and our care for others.

I encourage you to watch Bishop Eaton's message regarding the COVID-19.

In Christ,

Pastor Natasha Woitzel-Kolles
