Welcome to Edinburg Lutheran Parish (Edinburg, VA)

Five Wednesdays of Lent at Zion:  Every week we will have Soup & Sandwich Supper at 6pm followed with a Devotion & Study.

So many of our neighbors here and around the world are longing to experience the hope only Jesus can bring. Come and invite a friend to join us for soup & sandwich supper, faith-filled study, and a time of devotion every Wednesday at 6 PM.  Our theme will be “Sensing Hope,” as we will explore how each of our senses connect us to the love of Christ and to one another in our shared humanity.  Each week we’ll learn a bit about Lutheran World Relief in the context of studying God’s Word, prayer, and sharing in singing.  

Themes for each night:

March 12:  Touching Hope – Luke 7:1-10

March 19:  Hearing Hope – Mark 7:31-37

March 26:  Seeing Hope - Mark 10:46-52

April 2:  Smelling Hope – John 12:1-8 and 2 Corinthians 2:14-17

April 9:  Tasting Hope – Ruth 1

Rather not come out on Wednesday nights for Lent? You might consider going St. Paul – Jerome each Wednesday at noon.  They will be having a soup & sandwich lunch followed by Holden Evening Prayer and a sermon brought by a visiting pastor.

March 12:  Pastor Katie

March 19:  Pastor Kristen Van Stee

March 26:  Pastor Nate Robinson

April 2:  Pastor Sherrie Hofmann

April 9:  Pastor Chris Flohr

Spring Forward has embarked on its 16th year of service to our community!  This program is for students in grades 1-6 and meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-6pm at Zion. Snacks are provided.  This past week, we enjoyed tapping a maple tree to catch the sap for making syrup!  Thank you, Mr. Bowman, for leading us in this fascinating adventure. Please help spread the word and call for more information. Registration is required.

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!

Even on dark winter nights people stop by.  You might consider things beyond food items, like gloves, hats, socks, hand warmers, chapstick.

“But in times past, ... the people ... gathered food and material goods in the church, and there – as St. Paul writes in I 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)
