Good to be with the people of Zion Lutheran, Millwood for the 75th Anniversary today. This is one of our congregations in Spokane Valley, west of Spokane. They had a guest organist whose prelude was a setting of Gabriel’s Oboe from Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack to The Mission. The organist also pulled out all the stops for the hymns. You can find my Reign of Christ sermon for this morning in another post. During a celebratory lunch following worship we heard the early history of the congregation and I was able to share greetings from the synod office. Zion is served by Pastor Tyler Gubsch, pictured with me below. Thank you for the hospitality Zion.
