Dear members,

BIBLE CLASS RESTARTING

Worship is back at 10:00 am on Sunday's please join us. Adult Bible Class will pick up again this coming Sunday, June 28, at 9 a.m. in the church hall. Social distancing will be observed throughout. Your attention to social distancing would be most appreciated as you arrive and leave.

The topic of study will be Joshua. We will pick up where we left off in March, Joshua chapter 9.

Again, as always, masks are welcome and if you feel ill, please stay home.

COMMUNION AND STARTING UP A NEW PASTORATE IN THE TIME OF COVID 19

Not knowing who is who, and what patterns at church were before Lent arrived and we shut down, I wonder if some might want communion but for whatever reason not want to come and rub elbows (figuratively speaking) with others. If you would want communion for just you or just your family, please call the church office (402) 725-3234 and we can set up a time so that you can receive communion in the church narthex/entryway.

The Orphan Grain Train fish boil that was set for July has been cancelled this year.

VBS 2020 RAINFOREST EXPLORERS-Jesus Leads the Way-St. Peter/Zion Lutheran Churches

Remember to register for VBS 2020 @ vbsmate.com/ZionHamptonNE

If you already registered, you will soon be receiving a Song Card with all VBS songs and Bible verses. And if you haven't registered, do so now and you will receive your Song Card! Students and families will enjoy expressing their faith through singing and dancing to these songs!

• Key Bible Verse: Oh, the depth of the riches...of God! Romans 11:3

• July 13-17 and hopefully we can gather in larger groups and host VBS as in previous years at the Zion Campus
• If we are still unable to meet in larger groups, we will host a virtual VBS through Zion live stream that could look something like the following
  • Opening with songs, Bible take home point, Mission Moment and SYDNEY THE SLOTH!
  • Telling of Bible Story
  • Games/movement (we'd have to figure out how that would "look" virtually)
  • Bible Challenge
  • Craft demonstration (the students would make it themselves later)
  • Snack (We'd have to think that through...hopefully send items in their bag)
  • Closing
  • Individual bags with all materials would be ready for pick up the week prior to VBS
