A family-friendly congregation We are a congregation of 350 confirmed, communing members that builds its life in the Ministry of Word and Sacrament. From there, we reach out to our community and our members with ministries of education, fellowship and service. Pastor Cindy White’s greetings.
Saturday 5:30 pm; Sunday 9 am Saturday worship is a relaxed service with a blend of contemporary and traditional music. Communion is offered the fourth Saturday of the month. A food & fellowship time follows the service. Sunday worship is a traditional Lutheran service with Communtion offered each week. Both services are online.
Building positive relationships A church is not a building. It is people coming together to worship and serve God. We believe in building relation-ships, helping our members connect with God and with each other. You can connect with us here and with our latest Facebook and YouTube posts, 
RE-OPENING GUIDELINES AND EXPECTATIONS
Our ‘New Normal’
WE WILL BE GREEN THIS FRIDAY JUNE 19, 2020
Services are returning to our regular times beginning Saturday June 20th at 5:30 PM and Sunday June 21st at 9:00 AM
There will no longer be a need to create a list for a certain amount of people to attend our worship services. We will however, continue to wear masks, observe social distancing and receive communion from the pews until further notice.
Our first concern is everyone’s safety. This is why we have opted to continue with the restrictions as aforementioned. There is enough room in our worship spaces to accommodate our regular attendance AND observe social distancing. Your attendance is a prayerful decision. Praying for your continued good health and looking forward to seeing you.
Stay safe, stay well and God Bless,
Pastor Cindy and your Executive Committee
Please leave a message on the church phone #570-668-2180 if you have any questions. Someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
Tamaqua online 2020 Baccalaureate Service
The Tamaqua Ministerial Association presents an online Baccalaureate Service for the Tamaqua Class of 2020.
Gods Peace & Blessings to all of you!
Even though we haven’t been together in awhile, I’ve been hard at work planning our Christian Education programs for the future. I have some exciting things happening in the fall!
With this said, it’s time to announce the news that in the best interest of safety, the Executive Committee and I have decided we will not have a traditional indoor 5 day Vacation Bible School this year. This was an extremely difficult decision, that was done prayerfully for the best interest of the
church, the safety of our volunteers, and the children. I had a very exciting theme chosen, but it just won’t work in our “new (hopefully temporary) normal”.
I am however happy to announce that I am working on a 3 day Outdoor VBS program in the month of August. Details for this are still coming together.
With this said if you are interested in Volunteering for our Outdoor VBS Adventure please contact me!
zionlutheraneducation@gmail.com
I will be putting together a list of interested volunteers and then set up a Zoom Meeting where we can discuss the plan for this years VBS!
I have spent many hours searching for a curriculum that we could effectively execute in an outdoor setting, and I hope you’ll be as excited and energized as I am when we release the theme!
I look forward to building our VBS Team and look forward to hearing from you! Please remember to contact me if you are interested in helping this year!
God Bless,
Christian Education Superintendent
Vacation Bible School Director
