Holy Communion

The Small Catechism simply and quite beautifully teaches all that one needs to know about Holy Communion for the Christian. Christ is truly present in His gifts, giving His body and blood in the bread and wine of Holy Communion.

“We believe, teach, and confess that Christ’s body and blood are received with the bread and wine, not only spiritually through faith, but also orally…in a supernatural, heavenly way, because of the sacramental union.” ~ Article VII, Formula of Concord: Epitome

“These words, “Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins,” show us that in the Sacrament forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation are given us through these words. For where there is forgiveness of sins, there is also life and salvation.” ~ Small Catechism: Holy Communion, Part II

86th Anniversary of the Wausau Lutheran Hour

On Easter Sunday, March 28, 1937, two months after Wausau’s first radio station, WSAU, went on the air (Jan. 31), Zion broadcast its first service over the radio airwaves from the old church at 5th and Scott Streets.

Through the efforts of Zion’s Pastor Paul Roehrs and WSAU’s Chief Engineer, Roland Richardt (a member of Zion), the Wausau Lutheran Hour began. The broadcast has flourished over the years through the support of members of Zion, and others from the Wausau area, who sponsored broadcasts in memory of departed loved ones, birthdays, or anniversaries. This broadcast has been a blessing to thousands of homebound persons in Central Wisconsin, has reached ears around the world thanks to the Internet, and has served as an irreplaceable asset to our worship during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Listen to our Sunday 9:00 am Worship Service by tuning into WSAU 550 AM, 99.9 FM and 95.1 FM. You can also listen live on WSAU and clicking on Listen Live.
