The Divine Service – Fall 2020

The Confirmation Students of Zion and Bethany Lutheran Churches focused their Fall 2020 learning on the Divine Service. We talked about how the liturgy is to be understood, what liturgy means, and why the Divine Service we have received from the Church is such beautiful gift for us. Below are curriculum and question sheets, as well as videos Pastor Johnson made to accompany each lesson for our at-home learning students.

87th 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.
