Welcome to Edinburg Lutheran Parish (Edinburg, VA)

We are moving into that time of year when the weather can quickly turn snowy and icy, making the roads treacherous. Remember if the decision is made to not have worship in-person, you still have the option of dialing into the 11am call-In service with the numbers below.  How will I know if the churches are closed?  You can call Zion’s answering machine and listen to the message or watch closings on WHSV Channel 3, or check this website.  Make the best decision for your situation!

Science and mathematics are the themes this year as we seek to provide tutoring in areas the students struggle.  We’re excited to be able to have busses from the Southern and Central campus.  If you know of an elementary age student who would benefit from this tutoring and enrichment program, let them know about Spring Forward!  Pleaes note that Spring Forward follows the Shenandoah County Public Schools closure policy.

Be encouraged to take time to stop by and check the Blessing Box. The upper portion is for food stuffs, and the lower space is for firewood in the cold months and produce and plants in the warm months.  Spread the word!

With the cold weather, no doubt clothing items (i.e. gloves, hats) for the cold temperatures would be appreciated along with food donations.  Thank you for supporting young and old alike … need knows no age.  A huge THANK YOU to all who have been supporting it with contributions of food and dollars. 

Here's an idea:  ”A Meal in a Bag!” that contains all the ingredients for a simple meal. Cleaning supplies have also been appreciated, since anything beyond the allotments of a SNAP card are often a struggle to afford for many families. 

“But in times past, ... the people ... gathered food and material goods in the church, and there – as St. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 11 – distributed among those in need.”

- Martin Luther in The Blessed Sacrament of the Holy and True Body of Christ, and the Brotherhoods (1519)
